Listen to a summary of the Automatrics June recovery operations whilst en-route to search out yet another stolen 1 ton dumper.
We were contacted by a plant hire client reporting a 1 ton skip loader dumper stolen. We immediately alarmed the Automatrics MTrack and within minutes received a GPS fix that was less than one mile from the customers offices in Milton Keynes.
The customer took a drive to the location showing in a small light industry estate. Unfortunately the machine could not be seen.
Automatrics sent a finder to the site to pick up a radio signal just emanating from a locked industrial unit. The finder called the police who when they arrived were shown the radio location coming from inside unit 37.
Police used their powers of entry to break into the building. The Machine was found inside with several other suspected stolen goods, including welding sets, Wacker plates, motocross bikes.
Thames Valley Police sealed off the business unit as a crime scene and tenants had their tenancy agreement withdrawn immediately by the landlords.
Police questioned a Polish company driver who turned up at the building during the recovery, He confirmed they traded between the UK and Poland and he has been asked to attend the station for further questioning, arrests are expected to follow.
