Twenty SUVs Damaged in Texas Attack
Wed Sep 3, 5:11 PM ET
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Twenty sport utility vehicles were damaged in an attack at a Houston area car dealership, but it was not known if the incident was politically motivated or a simple act of vandalism, police said on Wednesday.
The attackers shot out windows with pellet guns, scratched body paint and slashed tires, causing about $60,000 in damage, the dealership said.
But the attackers, who struck on Tuesday, left no spray-paint messages as happened in an anti-SUV incident in Los Angeles last month and no-one has claimed responsibility, Houston police said.
A radical environmentalist group called Earth Liberation Front said it carried out the Los Angeles attack which damaged more than 40 SUVs, condemned by some as gas guzzlers and polluters but highly popular with U.S. consumers.
Bob Velasco, the Houston dealership's sales manager, said Tuesday's incident appeared to be political. "They didn't hit anything but the big SUVs. The thing is, with kids they usually steal things. Nothing was stolen," he said.
