‘Remove & secure license plates’ of vehicles not in use- RVIPF
In a press release, the RVPIF said this includes vehicles that are inoperable and parked for an extended period; vehicles that have been taken to a mechanic or garage and are expected to remain there for an extended period; and derelict vehicles: vehicles that have been left unattended and are not expected to be repaired.
Stolen plates linked to criminal activity put owners at risk
The RVIPF added that investigations revealed that license plates from such vehicles are being removed without the owner’s knowledge and affixed to other vehicles. These vehicles are then being used to facilitate criminal activity, placing the registered owners at risk of being linked to unlawful acts.
Owners have been reminded that license plates remain legally connected to them, regardless of where or how they are used.
The RVIPF warned that failure to remove plates from inactive vehicles increases the likelihood of them being misused and may expose owners to unnecessary legal complications.
Report plates that are tampered with or stolen
The RVIPF also urged the public to take this precaution seriously and advised any person who discovers that their plates have been stolen or tampered with to report the matter immediately by contacting the nearest police station, calling the non-emergency access number 311, or reporting anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1800-8477 (TIPS).

Barges to patrol boarder's?
While vehicle drivers, are busy at work people with evil intention can easily remove their license plates without them realizing it.
What really is the expectations of the RVIPF? Does the RVIPF really expect that each time you park, and leave your vehicle unattended for hours, or in the case the B.V.I for another Country, or even trellis Bay jetty area for working that you are expected to remove your license plates, put in your vehicle, and when you have returned to your vehicle, put the on?
Honestly, there are other ways to confront this crime problem without unnecessary harassment to the general public unwisely.
In the B.V.I, especially for the past two decades, common sense isn't that common, but rather the exception actions by the majority of people that regularly living in the B.V.I, and some visitors, too.
Campaign. First, a month's advance notice should be given. Then the Government proceeds to remove all these unsightly vehicles that are all over this country. If the Government waits for the owners to remove them, that will never happen. Perhaps many of the owners may have left the island or passed away. This should be an URGENT CAMPAIGN because the BVI looks unsightly because of these vehicles all over the place.
