Motorists warned over number plates ahead of crackdown by police in Mansfield

Nottinghamshire Police’s Mansfield Operation Reacher team are planning another ‘day of action’ targeting traffic offences.

The team said: “This will include tax, mot and insurance checks. In addition to this, number plates will be our focus.

“Having had a comment regarding stolen vehicles previously, should your vehicle be stolen and not display the registration correctly, this could hinder the investigation in trying to identify your vehicle through ANPR - automatic number plate recognition cameras.

“If you have a private number plate, please ensure that this is within the legal limit. Failure to comply with this could result in your plate being revoked from the DVLA.”
