MOTOR THIEVES NOW
EMPLOY NEW SCHEME
Duplicate License Tags Being
Used on Stolen Auto
mobiles.

A crusade started yesterday In Ches-
ter TO halt all motor vehicles for viola
tons. resulted in the arrest OF one
truck driver and ALSO disclosed what
the police believe an entirely new
method OF duplicating automobile tags.
Included In the roundup by Con-
stable ID. Harvey Sykes. OF Chester,
was a truck. belonging to tho McCArter
Iron Company OF Norristown. which
was en- route to that town from Will
mington. The truck contained three
tanks. The driver had his license. but
was not to be outdone by the pike
sleuth," who discovered that the tanks
extended over the side a greater de.
tance than the law permits TIE law
allows 90 inches and the tanks hap
pened to be 1a4 inches. according tc
the constable. SO the driver was ar
rested.
The operator OF the truck protested
and showed n permit Issued by tn,
police department In this city, allowing
tho truck TO pass through this STATE
with the excess loading. Tho drive
was informed that the matter woul,
have to be adjusted in Harrisburg.
A short time later, a Packard ca
with Delaware license No. 1912. wal
stopped. The driver jumped from tn
machine and disappeared. The Ches
ter police are OF the opinion that tn
car was stolen in Wilmington. Tn
driver, 1t was stated. after presumabl.
going to n telephone. failed 10 return
for the car. 1t was then removed t
the Chester police station.
The number of the license tag o,
the car corresponds with that on tn
automobile owned by S. l.. Foster
1926 Lancaster avenut. this city. To
day Mr.. Foster stated that his ca
still retained lts proper license, bu
was unable TO understand how III
number could be duplicated. Ias
May. a Ford machine was stolen fror
Mr.. Fosters garage, but the licens
number on that machine was entirel
different, he said.
II is generally believed by the polio
that automobile thieves have adopte
n method of manufacturing dupllcat
tags.
