Springfield police warn of annoying new theft trend

SPRINGFIELD Police are experiencing an increase in reports of stolen or lost number plates from cars in the area.

Acting Senior Sergeant Ben MacKenzie said it is often reported to police occurring in large car parks.

"The Springfield Police Station has a limited supply of packets of screws available during business hours, or alternatively local hardware and automotive suppliers stock packets of anti-theft screws and bolts,” he said.

"Police strongly encourage vehicle owners who park their vehicles for longer periods of time in public car parks to consider this security strategy.

"Remember, no matter where you are, lock your car.”
