SUVs Deflated

A group of activists says it's targeting gas-guzzling SUVs, deflating the tires of at least 34 SUVs in Victoria and Oak Bay.

They say they're not done yet. A group of activists says it's targeting gas-guzzling SUVs, deflating the tires of at least 34 SUVs in Victoria and Oak Bay. The protesters says they did that work in the overnight hours late last week, something confirmed by police in Oak Bay. A statement on the "Tyre Extinguishers" website says the group's members are defending themselves against climate change, air pollution and unsafe drivers.It adds the minor inconvenience of a flat tire turns into a giant obstacle for"driving massive killer vehicles around our streets." Police say the "minor" inconvenience of driving on a flat or deflated tire could turn into something deadly. The investigation continues. Oak Bay Police are asking anyone with video surveillance or dash cam footage to give them a call.
