When Thieves in the West Midlands decided to steal a milk float, they didn’t realise that it had a tracking device hidden in it. Thanks to VHF (very high frequency) technology used by TRACKER, West Mercia Constabulary were able to pick up a signal which was being emitted by the vehicles tracking device which then enabled them to track the vehicle, and recover it along with three other vehicles.
Officers on the ground and officers in a police helicopter tracked the signal to some farm buildings in the Bridgenorth area of Shropshire, when they entered the farm buildings they found the milk float along with other stolen vehicles and expensive plant machinery.
The TRACKER police liaison manager for area said “tracker is the only stolen vehicle recovery provider who works with all 52 police forces in the UK, this just shows how a vehicle tracking device can save a company or an individual money.
A police spokesman commented on the incident “if the milk float in question had not been fitted with a tracking device, I very much doubt we would have been able to locate and recover it along with the other three vehicles, one was in the process of being stripped down, which I believe the others would have followed that same process”.
