GPS Tracking System Aids Police in Backhoe Theft
Real-Time Tracking System
Real-time tracking system information aided authorities in the recovery of a stolen backhoe in the Blandford-Blenheim region. The real-time tracking system data was used by local authorities to accurately determine the backhoe’s location and eventual to the arrest of an unidentified man for possession of stolen equipment over $5000.
Bruce Weeger of Ebersole Excavating went online to view his real-time tracking system to check and verify his equipment was in the appropriate location. Weeger installed real-time tracking systems, a form of GPS tracking system technology, as additional security for his expensive construction equipment. When the GPS tracking system showed that the backhoe was missing from Weeger’s property he quickly called authorities and provided him the real-time tracking system data. The real-time tracking system data was then used by authorities to determine the location of the backhoe and led them to the suspected thief’s home. GPS tracking systems have been widely used by companies to monitor vehicles and other assets.
Staff Sergeant Shelton, who was involved in the case, was surprised how easily it was for the authorities to locate the vehicle and suspect thanks to the GPS tracking data provided by the real-time tracking system. The real-time tracking system provided exact longitude and latitude coordinates. When asked about the crime, Shelton expressed how much easier police work would be if all stolen items were equipped with GPS tracking systems.
