Drivers can have their number plates secured for free at an event this weekend.
PL4TE S4FE will be held between 10am and midday at Sainsbury’s car park in Griffiths Way, St Albans on Saturday, November 14, and drivers can get theft resistant screws fitted free.
Safer neighbourhood team Sergeant Steve Alison and his colleagues will be fitting the screws.
Sergeant Alison said: “We held similar events in St Albans, Harpenden and London Colney in September and there was a hug demand, so we are holding another in St Albans and plan to hold more across the district in the future.
“I’d urge people to come along and take the opportunity to have their number plates secured with these screws.
“Theft of your car number plates can be very inconvenient and they can be used for criminal offences including stealing petrol, evading speed camera fines or avoiding the congestion charges in London.
“To help keep yours safe, why not come along and spend a few minutes securing your number plates. We’ll also be providing crime prevention advice about how to keep your vehicle secure.”
