One of the fastest growing crimes in the country is, would you believe it , the theft of car number plates, and it has now reached Denbighshire in Wales, according to the local police force.
Although the number of plate thefts is low (just three last month) it is a concern for Denbigh police and Community Beat Manager PC Christopher Davies.
It seems that the thieves are unscrewing registration plates and putting them onto other cars, these then being used when committing other crimes.
PC Davies said: "One man became victim when he was parked at a local prison , HM Stanley and his number plate was stolen, no one is exempt everyone is vulnerable to thefts of this type."
The policeman added the mans number plate was used on a car which drove off from a petrol station in Mold after filling up. This is being done more and more often now that automatic number plate recognition is being so widely used.
The local police also stated that there has been an increase in the number of crimes relating to the theft of number plates all over Wales recently, but they believed that their officers were making breakthroughs in some cases.
"It is a crime which means people can get away with a lot more crime on the back of it," added the local Police
Unscrewing the registration plates can be carried out in a matter of minutes and PC Davies said he hopes to soon roll out a new free service where plates are screwed on in a way that will combat the problem.
