Photo / FileWellingtonians should install anti-theft screws on their cars' licence plates after a spate of thefts, police say. Throughout September there has been a marked increase in the thefts not only in the city, but across the region. "Licence plates can be affixed with anti-theft screws, varying the screw types also makes any theft difficult for offenders," the spokesperson said. "Police also recommend, where possible, to park your vehicle inside your property rather than on the street or only park in well-lit and busy locations." It's not just number plate thefts that are up – fraud is on the rise too.
