Ctrack hunts down stolen quad bike

The quad bike was traced to a housing estate eight miles away between Halifax and Bradford that is currently being redeveloped. Calderdale Council Parks and Streets was able to access the Ctrack system online and track the movements of the bike from when it was taken shortly after midnight to its final destination. Employees were able to liaise directly with the Police to direct them to the precise location in the garden of a vacant property.

Mark Dempsey from Calderdale Council Parks and Streets commented: "From the time we became aware of the break-in to when the Police officers located the stolen bike was less then three hours. Our ability to pinpoint the exact whereabouts of the bike using the Ctrack system was quite extraordinary and hopefully this successful recovery will help deter thieves in the future."

Stephen Rapicano, Managing Director of Ctrack said: "This demonstrates the value of using a tracking system to monitor high value vehicles and unpowered assets. Thieves are costing UK businesses millions of pounds each year, so it offers an effective means to combat crime, whilst providing access to additional functionality that help companies boost their overall fleet performance."

The quad bike is currently undergoing some repairs in York and will be back in full service shortly.
