GMV helps to break up a car-theft gang

MOVILOC®, GMV’s fleet-tracking technology, helps the police force to break up a gang of car thieves

The Guardia Civil operation ends with the arrest of two people and the recovery of 13 stolen vehicles

According to figures published by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (Ministerio del Interior), about 150,000 vehicles were stolen in Spain during 2013. Most drivers are unaware that there are ways of forestalling these thefts. Fitting vehicles with a tracking device will make it much harder for thieves to prosper. 

Last November, for instance, a vehicle fitted with GMV’s fleet-tracking and -management system MOVILOC® was stolen in Madrid. The car owner reported the theft to the police and showed them the vehicle’s last recorded position on the tracking device.

The case was then dealt with by the Judicial Police Force of Paracuellos del Jarama (Madrid), who managed to pinpoint the warehouse where the stolen vehicles were taken before being broken up and taken off to Poland.

The seven-month investigation managed to identify parts corresponding to 13 stolen vehicles and arrest two Poles who were working from the abovementioned warehouse in the industrial estate called Polígono Camporroso in Alcalá de Henares.

“MOVILOC® offers a wide range of services and functions to give users exhaustive control over all driver activity, recording, for example, the runs and mileage and also whether the scheduled routes were covered in due time and form. All this information is obtained in real time”, explains Ramón Dávila, Product Head of MOVILOC®. “The report offered by this service tells you the number of stops made by any vehicle during any working day, the place and the time each stop lasted. All this information gives an instant snapshot of the vehicle’s movements on any particular day”.

“The onboard equipment is fitted invisibly so that no thief is aware of the tracking device”, explained police spokespersons.

Many fleet-running firms have now opted for the fleet-tracking and -management solution MOVILOC® to protect their business and forestall major problems in the event of vehicle theft. On the 10th anniversary of this product it has now been fitted by over 1100 firms in a total of over 13,000 vehicles.
