Cambridgeshire Constabulary has recently seen a rise in reports of stolen number plates. Most of them will be used on illegal vehicles to avoid congestion charges, speeding fines or to commit criminal activity including fuel theft and other crimes.
Vehicle owners can reduce the risk of their registration plates being stolen by replacing normal screws with anti theft number plate screws. These are available from most auto spare shops or via the Internet.
