Yarra Ranges car users are encouraged to attend a Safe Plate day on Sunday 31 August, between 11am and 2pm to protect their cars from theft.
The Belgrave Police, along with Belgrave CFA will be hosting the Safe Plate day event at the Belgrave CFA premises on Bayview Road in Belgrave, which will also include a sausage sizzle.
The CFA will be hosting a fundraiser BBQ while the Police will assist the community with changing their number plate screws over to anti-theft screws.
Offenders use stolen plates to avoid identification when committing serious offences such as petrol theft, drug trafficking and burglary.
The changeover can help prevent offences and avoid the inconvenience and cost of replacing your number plates by securing your plates with one-way, anti-theft
screws.
