Police warn about spike in license plate thefts in Germantown and Mount Airy

Police are suggesting residents purchase anti-theft screws that cost $5 or less. Police are also suggesting you check your plate daily, not only to make sure it’s attached but to make sure it’s your plate and hasn’t been swapped out with another plate.

If you have any information, please contact Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
