In the night of Wednesday, unknown people in Berlin-Zehlendorf left several cars out of the tires. A vehicle owner noticed in the morning that the air had been drained from two tires on his car. He also found a letter of confession on the car and reported the police incident. A police spokeswoman confirmed this to the Tagesspiegel on request.

In the immediate vicinity of the affected vehicle, which was parked on Bismarckstrasse, the police discovered three other cars, in which the air had also been drained from the tires. Confession letters were also appropriate here. The spokeswoman stated that a total of four criminal charges were reimbursed for property damage.

The confession on the vehicles were signed by the group "The Tyre Exinguishers", according to the police. These climate activists want to draw attention to the environmental consequences of SUVs. To do this, let the air out of the car tires and leave a confession letter. The group confessed to the deeds on Twitter in the morning and spoke of a total of 50 affected SUVs in Zehlendorf. In addition to the four cases displayed, however, no other affected vehicles were known to the police spokeswoman. However, there could be further cases during the day.

"The Tyre Exlinguishers" is an international movement of climate activists who want to point out the environmental consequences of SUVs. They noticed in Grunewald in June when they also drained the air from several SUV tires.

In their tweet on Wednesday, they accused politicians in Berlin to prefer parking spaces opposite bike paths. In particular, she called traffic senator Manja Schreiner (CDU). The group "The Tyre Expinguishers" asked her to change your opinion.

The announcement of the transport administration under the direction of Manja Schreiner to review already planned cycle paths had led too much criticism and controversial debates about the traffic policy of the new Black-Red Senate in recent weeks.
