NUMBER plates have been stolen from a silver Ford Focus in Great Tey.
 

The plates were taken from the car parked in Lower Langley sometime between 7pm on Tuesday and 7.15am on Wednesday.
 

Chief Insp Richard Phillibrown, district commander for Colchester, said police are very keen to trace the thieves because the plates are often attached to other vehicles used to commit crimes.
 

Anyone with information call Colchester police on 101.
