Drivers can get theft resistant screws fitted free at an event in St Albans this weekend.

On Sunday, PL4TE S4FE will be held between 11am and 1pm outside Sainsbury’s in Colney Fields in London Colney.

PCSO Michaela Andrews from the London Colney Safer Neighbourhood Team and her colleagues will be fitting the screws.

PCSO Andrews said: “Theft of your car number plates can be very inconvenient and they can be used for criminal offences including bilking – stealing petrol – evading speed camera fines or avoiding the congestion charges in London.

“To 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.”
