Number plates are being stolen from cars in Conwy and Denbighshire.
North Wales Police said they have received increasing reports of number plates being removed from vehicles across the tow counties.
Police, attempting to provide a solution to the problem, said: "Try using tamper proof screws such to make it harder for criminals.
They are inexpensive and easy to install yourself."
