Steps to Reproduce

In any server file:

RegisterCommand('plate_bug', function (source, args, raw)
    CreateThread(function (threadId)
        local tries = 0
        while true do
            tries += 1
            local coords = vec4(1102.6, -968.8, 45.21, 280.59)
            local plate
            local veh = CreateVehicleServerSetter(`adder`, 'automobile', coords.x, coords.y, coords.z, coords.w)
            while not DoesEntityExist(veh) do Wait(0) end
            while GetVehicleNumberPlateText(veh) == '' do Wait(0) end
            plate = GetVehicleNumberPlateText(veh)
            DeleteEntity(veh)
            if string.len(plate) > 9 then
                print('raw plate', plate)
                print('plate length', string.len(plate))
                print('loops', tries)
                break
            end
            Wait(100)
        end
    end)
end)

Expected Behavior

Should return the plate as seen in game such as 67MMY163

Actual Behavior

Plate has characters added onto the end, an example output is 67MMY163o� or 67MMY163 o�

Evidence

[01:55:14] [ info] [    ox_inventory] raw plate 67MMY163
                                                        o�
[01:55:14] [ info] [    ox_inventory] plate length      12
[01:55:14] [ info] [    ox_inventory] loops     2

Additional Context

Screenshot from ox_inventory with weird plate data taken direct from the server
