(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 27 - Police are investigating after
protestors claiming to belong to the 'Tyre Extinguishers'
international direct-action climate group deflated the tyres of
several SUV cars in the Saragozza area of Bologna over the last
few days.
"Attention, we have deflated a tyre of your SUV," read a
statement left on the car's windscreens.
"You'll get angry, we know.
"We don't have a problem with you, but with your SUV.
"Our aim is to make it impossible to own a huge polluting 4x4 in
the world's urban areas.
"We are defending ourselves against climate change, air
pollution and unsafe drivers".
Bologna Police Chief Isabella Fusiello said the DIGOS special
unit was at work to establish if the stunt was linked to the
Tyre Extinguishers environmental movement or was done by "some
local buffoon".
She added that the police have clues about who might have been
behind the action. (ANSA).
