North Rhine-Westphalia: Activists let air out of SUV tires again

Essen/Bonn (dpa/lnw) - Activists have once again let the air out of the tires of high-horsepower cars in Essen and Bonn. In the social networks, the group "Tyre Extinguishers" itself spoke of 26 vehicles in Essen and 9 vehicles in Bonn. However, there were significantly fewer cases on file with the police. "We assume that most of the victims simply inflate their tires and do not report anything," said a police spokesman in Bonn.

Mainly large SUVs are affected. The perpetrators leave a kind of confession letter on the windshield. Because of the political dimension, the state security is also investigating.
