Police are stepping up the fight against number plate theft, and need your help.
These crimes are not to be taken lightly as stolen plates can be used to commit more serious offences such as petrol drive-offs, driving offences, burglaries and even drug trafficking.
Wangaratta police station has anti-theft screws available for a small gold coin donation.
These one-way screws can be used to secure your plates, making them much harder to steal.
You can head down to the Wangaratta Police front counter to pick yours up.
Prevention is the key; secure your plates and park in a well-lit , secure area.
But if you ever become a victim, report it at your earliest opportunity to give us the best chance to catch the offenders, recover what’s yours, and keep our community safe.
Together we can help reduce number plate theft in Yarrawonga.
