Whittlesea police are urging residents not to give crime a free ride by fitting their number plates with one-way screws.
In a post to the Eyewatch- Whittlesea Police Service Area Facebook page, police reminded the community that all police stations in the City of Whittlesea have one-way number plate screws available for a gold coin donation.
“Stolen number plates can be used by offenders to avoid identification when committing serious offences such as burglaries,” police said.
“Theft of number plates remains a constant issue within the City of Whittlesea.”
