STOLEN KUBOTA K008-3 MICRO DIGGER SAFELY RECOVERED - 9th APRIL 2020 BY LONG TERM CITS MEMBER AUTOMATRICS

Automatrics were contacted by a plant hire customer reporting a Kubota K008-3 Micro Digger stolen from a work site south of Frodsham Golf Course in Cheshire.

The Automatrics team sent a signal to remotely trigger the Automatrics MTrack theft recovery tracking system to connect at 14.30.

The unit reported a cell location just north of Frodsham indicating the machine had not travelled far. After a few GPS attempts they achieved a GPS accurate fix to report to Cheshire police, the machine was located close to the M56 by the River Weaver.

The machine had a few panels removed for hot wiring, it was recovered a few hours later for forensic examination.
