About 85 vehicles are targeted in Leeds with protesters letting down tyres during the night.
Climate activists have deflated the tyres of dozens of SUVs parked in Leeds overnight.
The group left leaflets on windscreens telling owners their "gas guzzler kills" and "SUVs and 4x4s are a disaster for our climate".The environmental group said SUVs in Meanwood and other suburbs had been targeted but had avoided those used by blue badge holders.In a statement, the group said SUVs were "not compatible with a liveable future" and there were alternative means of transport.
"We must all ask ourselves what we can do in this time, together, to create the change needed to avoid the worst impacts," the group said.
