It is not uncommon, in general, for suspects who have committed or are about to commit a crime to disguise or remove their license plate. Altering a license plate is a Class E Felony. Franklin Police commend the witness who reported this crime, and encourage residents who witness criminal or suspicious activity to contact police.
