Each year thousands of vehicles are stolen in Alberta. In 2017 more than 24,000 vehicles were stolen in Alberta which represented 29% of all stolen vehicles across the country. On average this accounts for 68 vehicle thefts each day.
As an added crime prevention measure the Chestermere RCMP has created the Security Screw Program.
This weekend (Jun. 22nd), join members of the Chestermere Police Communications Committee at Safeway from 12pm to 2pm to have a security screw installed at no charge.
The security screw is supplied by a loss prevention company with a proprietary bit. These bits are not available for purchase at retail stores.
Once installed, property criminals will have difficulty removing a license plate without detection or causing noticeable damage to the license plate. Most of whom will likely move on.
When your vehicle is sold or you want to remove your license plate, simply attend the Chestermere RCMP Detachment or participating location to have it removed.
