An environmental group that deflates the tires on SUVs claims to have hit 34 vehicles in Oak Bay and Victoria.
“In each file, the suspect targets SUVs and deflates a single tire on each vehicle,” Oak Bay police said in a statement. “A leaflet was left behind by a group called the Tyre Extinguishers who target SUVs and claim the use of SUVs has a disproportionate impact on the climate crisis.”The man is described as white and in his early 20s with a thin build and light-brown hair. He was seen driving away in a light blue car.
On Twitter, the group says the Greater Victoria action was the first of its West Coast chapter, with more to come in other major cities, including Vancouver.
Use extreme violence if they vandalize your vehicle.
Not cool at all😡
“Sigh”
Don’t touch what isn’t yours or face the consequences of your action. Done at night like cowards.
They are not an Eco Group. Media needs to their research. Eco Groups are concerned with environment. Not vandalism, which is a crime. Being concerned with environment is not a crime.
