Upper Hutt Community Patrol - Safer Plates Event
Do you want anti-theft screws on your Vehicles number plates?
Upper Hutt Community Patrol and Wellington District Police will be installing tamper-resistant 'Safer Plates' screws on Friday 8th April from 10:45am till 2pm @ Countdown Queen Street, Upper Hutt
Over the past few months, a number of plates have been stolen throughout the Hutt Valley, and this number is on the increase. Stolen plates are being used to switch plates to facilitate crime such as petrol drive offs.
To curb the increase in number plate theft, Community Patrols of New Zealand - CPNZ have produced special screws which require a special driver to remove, these are used to replace the existing standard screws; this lessens the chances of the plates being stolen.
A small donation of $5 is appreciated which will go to running the Upper Hutt Community Patrol Vehicle.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
