It is upsetting and inconvenient for members of our community to be victims of stole number plates.   

To prevent being a victim of this crime local Police hold several “Safer Plate” initiatives, with the support of local businesses and Community Patrols New Zealand, where licence plates can be affixed with anti-theft screws.  

Police also recommend where possible, to park your car inside your property rather than on the street or only park in well-lit and busy locations.
