Tracker Help Crack Car Thieves

Stolen vehicle recovery company Tracker has been instrumental in helping police close the net on organised crime.

Tracker's stolen vehicle recovery device located a stolen Golf GTi, leading police to a crime ring and a clutch of stolen cars.

"I felt utterly shocked and confused when I received the automated movement alert from Tracker, informing me of a possible unauthorised movement of my car." said Mr Glover, owner of the stolen Golf GTI.

"This is another great result for Tracker and a clear indication of the effectiveness of our tracking devices in helping recover vehicles and aiding police in the arrest of organised criminals," said Stuart Chapman, Police Relationship Manager for Tracker.

"Not only did we recover Mr Glover’s car, but 19 other stolen vehicles were found simultaneously. This demonstrates our partnership with the police, combined with our unique stolen vehicle recovery system was instrumental in this case and the clampdown on vehicle crime rings."
