Warning after 4x4 attacks
POLICE chiefs have warned they will come down hard on anyone caught tampering with 4x4 cars.
The warning comes after climate change activists made claims on the internet that they had deflated the tyres on ten 4x4s over the last two months in Edinburgh as part of a protest over high vehicle emissions.
A police spokesman said: "This type of irresponsible behaviour cannot be tolerated, and anyone caught illegally deflating the tyres on any vehicle – be that a 4x4 or otherwise – will be dealt with appropriately."
