The specialised CanTrack Investigations unit got straight onto the new case. Utilising the unique tracking technology within the CanTrack Protect unit a location not far from the theft site was indicated.
On arrival at the indicated area, our CanTrack Investigator could see the excavator. All company branding details had been removed but on closer inspection, it was confirmed as the stolen excavator. A quick call to the owners of the Kubota and a recovery vehicle was sent out to retrieve the excavator. Another quick recovery by our Investigation Unit.
Be vigilant, secure your machines and your site.
CanTrack Protect protects what’s important.
