The vehicle, which had been fitted with a TRACKER device, was reported stolen at around 7am on July 19th and was located in the Newry area a short time later.

“Criminals are looking to exploit soft targets and the use of TRACKER has been very successful in deterring and detecting them.

She added, “Adding these devices means that equipment is easily identifiable, and recoverable if stolen.”
