Wave of Orange Paint Hits High-End Dealers

Just Stop Oil protesters launched synchronized attacks on multiple luxury car dealerships in London's most exclusive neighborhoods.

The activists struck dealerships in Berkeley Square and Mayfair, spraying bright orange paint across showroom windows and pristine vehicles.

Police responded to the first reports around 8:30 AM when staff arrived to open the showrooms.

Targeting Symbols of Excess

The protesters chose their targets carefully. Ferrari, Bentley, and Bugatti dealerships represent some of the highest-emission luxury vehicles available.

A Ferrari F8 Tributo, worth over $275,000, was among the vehicles damaged in the attacks.

Security footage shows small groups of activists approaching the dealerships on foot, carrying concealed paint supplies.

Growing Business Concerns

Local business owners have expressed mounting frustration with the repeated targeting of high-end retailers.

"These attacks are hurting legitimate businesses and their employees. We're all concerned about the environment, but this isn't the way to create change."

The cleanup costs for each dealership are expected to exceed $20,000.

Swift Police Response

Metropolitan Police arrived within minutes of the first reports. They arrested eight protesters at the scene.

The suspects now face charges of criminal damage and breach of the peace.

Police recovered several cans of industrial orange paint and protest materials from the scene.

The Final Toll

In total, five luxury car dealerships were hit during the coordinated attacks. The damage includes:

  • 17 vehicles spray-painted
  • 8 showroom windows defaced
  • 3 building facades damaged

Dealership owners are now installing additional security measures and hiring extra staff to prevent future attacks.

The targeted businesses remain open while professional cleaning crews work to remove the paint.
