Police in California arrested a car thief after they spotted a car with a 'beautifully handwritten' fake license plate. Angel Rachiene Bolton, 38, was taken into custody by the Benicia Police Department on Friday. Officers spotted the car with the fake license plate in the early morning hours.
In a Facebook post, the police department said: "We know we are not superheroes, but just FYI this is NOT a way to get one over on us."
"At about 1 a.m. today, one of our officers was patrolling the area of 5000 block of East 2nd Street when he saw this beautifully handwritten license plate on a car. A quick check of the vehicle showed that it was reported stolen out of Alameda."
A photo of the car shows a white piece of paper with blue marker writing taped to the back of the car where a license plate would normally go.
The police department said: "Pro tip: At least make the 'registration' current."
Bolton was booked into Solano County jail without incident. She is due to appear in court on Tuesday. Benicia is a northern California waterfront city located some 35 miles northeast of San Francisco.
