Neighbourhood Watch, in conjunction with Victoria Police, can fit one-way theft-resistant screws to your number plates to reduce the risk of your plates being stolen, and will be doing so at the Bunnings car park in Bairnsdale on Saturday, September 6 from 9am-12pm.
The number one item stolen from vehicles in Victoria is Number Plates.
Stolen plates are then affixed to stolen cars, which are used to commit a wide range of crimes – ram raids, petrol theft, burglaries, hoon driving and so on.
As well as “fuelling” more crime, having your plates stolen is inconvenient and entails notifying the police and VicRoads, and buying new plates – plus you will likely receive fines for speeding and failing to pay tolls.
It only takes a few minutes for the Neighbourhood Watch volunteers to fit your plates with one-way screws reducing the chance of your becoming a victim of crime.
It’s also free, however any donation to support Neighbourhood Watch would be appreciated.
