'Complaint against capitalism' prompted tyre-slashing spree, court told
A man who was one of a group of three that slashed 128 tyres because of “some sort of complaint they had about capitalism” has been given a suspended sentence.
Michael Somers (aged 25) of Tara Hill Road, Rathfarnham, caused €22,314 worth of damage to the vehicles the group targeted that night. He later told gardaí that they only selected vehicles that were registered after 2003.
