NYC sheriffs seize 43 vehicles for fake paper license plates in overnight sweep

Deputy sheriffs seized 43 vehicles with bogus paper license plates on Brooklyn streets during an overnight crackdown on Friday, officials said. 

The operation began at midnight and ran through 6 a.m. — spanning the 69th, 63rd and 67th Precincts, which include neighborhoods such as Canarsie, Flatbush and Mill Basin. They used license plate reader technology to identify some of the offending vehicles, according to NYC Sheriff Joseph Fucito.
