A WARNING has been issued to Keighley motorists after another vehicle in the town was targeted by number-plate thieves.

In the latest incident, last Friday (November 12), the front and rear plates were stolen from a car parked in Dalton Terrace.

Just three weeks ago, a vehicle was stripped of its plates in Denby Road.

And the thefts are the latest in a string of such incidents to occur across Keighley in the past few months.

West Yorkshire Police urges motorists to consider getting their number plates fitted with tamper-proof screws.

And it has also issued general crime-prevention advice to help protect your vehicle – and its contents – from theft.

Tips include never leave valuables on show, check you car windows are closed even if you are leaving the vehicle unattended for just a few moments and don’t assume your vehicle has locked when using a key fob.

Van owners are encouraged, where possible, not to leave tools or machinery in their vehicle overnight.
