Tyre Extinguishers

In recent months there have been incidents of tyres being deflated on vehicles across many areas of Bristol including Clifton, this is part of a nationwide/world campaign by a group known as the TYRE EXTINGUISHERS.

The aim of the group is to “disable” 4×4 and SUV vehicles as they believe they are polluting and dangerous.

The group will normally leave a flyer with the vehicle to advise of their actions and their reasoning behind this.

Please check your vehicle prior to driving and if you see a crime taking place, please call 999.

If you wish to report a crime call 101 or report online.
