People travelling on roads in Gloucestershire have been warned to make sure that their licence plates are fully secured, according to a local news source.
An increase in the number of plates stolen from vehicles in the area has been recorded in recent weeks, according to the Gloucestershire Gazette.
The news source added that in some cases the number plates were attached to other vehicles and used to commit crimes.
This is because cover firms may view them as negligent owners for not ensuring their plates were secure.
Sergeant Craig Osbourne from Thornybury Police Station said: "The advice we are giving people is to ensure that licence plates are properly secured, not just stuck on."
It was reported by the Chorley Guardian earlier this week that there may be a link between the number of stolen licence plates in the area and the amount of drive-off crimes being committed at local petrol stations.
