FLASHBACK: Kumbia Neighbourhood Watch volunteer David Thomas and Constable Matthew Tunbridge, from Kingaroy Station fit one-way screws to a number plate at a Turn The Screws day in Kingaroy … now it’s Murgon’s turn

February 1, 2022

Murgon police and Murgon Neighbourhood Watch are teaming up on Saturday morning to make life harder for number plate thieves.

They’ll be running a Turning The Screws On Crime session opposite Clifton Motors in Macalister Street, Murgon, between 8:00am and 11:00am.

Turning the Screws on Crime is an initiative aimed at raising community awareness about number plate theft.

The campaign promotes the use of one-way screws to attach number plates to vehicles, making it more difficult for offenders to steal the plates.

The screws are designed to send a message to potential thieves that the plates will be too hard to remove.

The session will refit existing number plates with one-way screws for a $3 fee, which will be donated to Murgon Neighbourhood Watch.
