Stolen JCB digger fitted with Tracker recovery device recovered by Essex Police
A JCB digger was recently stolen from a construction site near Great Casterton, in Leicestershire. Luckily, the hire company that owned it had fitted a Tracker stolen vehicle recovery device, which was activated to help police trace the missing JCB. Less than seven days after the theft, Essex Police picked up the signal and together with support from the helicopter unit they followed the silent signal to the Dartford River Crossing.
Essex Police temporarily closed the QE2 Bridge in pursuit of the stolen JCB digger, which was recovered thanks to a signal from a Tracker stolen vehicle recovery unit. The successful operation resulted in Police recovering plant equipment and other items, including the original missing JCB.
Officers managed to narrow the signal down to the back of a lorry on the QE2 Bridge, during rush hour. The bridge had to be closed while police stopped the lorry and arrested the driver. Once they checked the lorry, police discovered another stolen tractor and items valued at £350,000.
Sgt Colin Sheard from Essex Roads Policing Unit said, “This was a great result, involving excellent teamwork from Officers from Essex Police’s RPU and Air Support Unit as well as the co-operation of staff from Dartford River Crossing and members of the public. Without a Tracker unit installed in the JCB, this machinery would be well on its way to Europe. The owner of the second stolen tractor is very lucky to have his machinery back.”
Adrian Davenport, Tracker’s Police Relationships Manager says, “The successful recovery of this stolen JCB illustrates the need for plant owners to keep security and the safety of their fleet high on their agenda. Without Tracker’s GSM, GPS and VHF, jammer-proof technology, that JCB could have been taken abroad and never seen again.
“Once again Tracker has played a key role in helping police recover stolen vehicles and stop thieves in their tracks. However, we are also helping plant fleet managers and owners manage all aspects of their vehicles and machinery, from safety and efficiency, through to the ultimate in security.”
As part of its ongoing expansion of products and services Tracker will be launching Tracker Plant, bringing fleet telematics together with its award winning stolen vehicle recovery solutions. Designed specifically for the plant market, Tracker Plant allows plant machinery owners to monitor usage on and off-site, helping them meet their employee Duty of Care, increase efficiency and benefit from the ultimate security system.
