CITS member Automatrics were contacted by one of their plant hire customers to report a Takeuchi TB230 stolen overnight from a worksite close to Highfield south of Sheffield.
In response they sent a remote signal to connect the Automatrics MTrack theft recovery device and this connected to report a GPS position at S6 1NJ Sheffield, Limestone Cottage Lane.
Sheffield unfortunately continues to be a hotspot for plant theft in 2020 with no let up during the COVID 19 lockdown.
The mapping data was sent to Sheffield Police who attended a woodland / wasteland area to locate and recover the machine within a 3 hour police recovery operation.
They received Super support from South Yorkshire police in recovering the machine!
