Community Message - Free fitting of anti-theft number plate screws

This is a Community Message from Insp Abu-Rish, Aylesbury Town Neighbourhood Inspector.

Following the success of our previous events in Aylesbury where we fitted over 700 cars with tamper proof number plate screws we have decided to run more events again in partnership with Halfords Auto Centre.

It is completely free of charge and only takes a moment to do so. We would like to invite people to pop along to one of the events in Aylesbury to be held on:

  • Weds 5th Oct at B&Q Car Park, Aylesbury from 10amtill 2pm
  • Weds 12th Oct at B&Q Car Park, Aylesbury from 10amtill 2pm
  • Thurs 20th Oct at Tesco Broadfields Car Park, Aylesbury from 4pmtill 8pm

Vehicle identity theft can present all sorts of problems for motorists and this is a free and easy way to eliminate the chance of being a victim to this type of crime. Stolen number plates can be used in committing crime such as making off without payment from garages, burglaries and avoiding congestion charging to name but a few.

Over 700 satisfied local residents have taken up this offer and there will only be another 3 dates this year to take up the offer. Members of the Aylesbury Neighbourhood Policing Team will also be in attendance for advice and crime reduction information.
