In a recent news the police were able to capture a criminal who stopped at a van because the van was equipped with a GPS tracking device.
A fella caught sight of a van in a New York county and boarded. It is likely that certain crimes are planned, but many are simply criminal offenses. Open van, open door … these are temptations that criminals find difficult to withstand.
The employee who had been entrusted to the van quickly called his employer and was called the police. Inside the GPS tracking device, the police found the van outside a fast food restaurant. Without a GPS tracking device, can you tell how long it took them to find a vehicle? It was not the only county-owned van on the street. So the police had to search for all the cars, not really knowing exactly where it was or who led it. An unmarked car detective attempted to get the suspicion to end his joyful journey. The suspect left the car and left.
Sometimes there is a thief who was arrested 17 times in the past, captured.
There is another side to this story – what about the staff who left the car and are available to an opportunistic thief? We could not read the end of that person. I'm sure the county is glad to see that this employee has set off quickly and has not tried to hide the theft.
GPS technology is as powerful as it can to make things more effective and does not spoil old-fashioned common sense. Most employers prefer their colleagues to leave their vehicles idle, but GPS tracking device can add additional security layers if something like this happens.
