Detectives Advise Use of Specialty License Plate Bolts

July 23, 2021

In an effort to prevent further crimes that occur following the theft of license plates, detectives are asking the public to consider affixing the tags with specialty bolts.

These specialty sets use an Allen key instead of a standard screwdriver or wrench which can make the theft of license plates more difficult.

“Stolen license plates are a crime which inconveniences the public – but also criminals often use the plates on unregistered or stolen cars to enable the commission of other illegal acts,” said Third Precinct Commander Faith Flippo. “With the use of specialty sets of bolts, it makes it much harder for thieves to simply use a standard tool to quickly remove the plates. This can help drive down other crimes.”

The Allen key sets of bolts can be found in local hardware stores or online and can be installed relatively quickly.
