DRIVERS can get tamper-proof screws fitted to their car registration plates in Withymoor on Friday (August 16).

The event, organised by West Midlands Police, is an attempt to thwart thieves who use stolen numberplates to drive off without paying for petrol.

Officers from the Amblecote neighbourhood police team will be joined by staff from Halfords Auto Centre to provide and fit the screws free of charge at Sainsbury’s car park, Withymoor, between 10am to noon.
