Stolen vehicle recovered due to GeoLoc from Matrix Vehicle Tracking

25 August 2009

A GeoLoc alarm received from a Matrix Vehicle Tracking unit ensures that the stolen vehicle was recovered. GeoLoc is one of the features that adds to enhanced security and personal safety and was developed by Matrix Vehicle Tracking, the technological leader in the market.

The Matrix Vehicle Tracking customer parked her vehicle at the Bedford Centre in Bedfordview. When the alarm was received at the Matrix Vehicle Tracking National Operations Centre, the customer was contacted to check if everything was in order. The customer investigated and confirmed that the vehicle was stolen. The Matrix Vehicle Tracking recovery teams were immediately dispatched.

The Matrix Vehicle Tracking air recovery team got a visual of the vehicle in Orlando and confirmed there was one suspect in the vehicle. While keeping an eye on the vehicle, the Matrix Vehicle Tracking air recovery team directed the SAPS and the ground recovery team to the position of the vehicle.

The driver stopped the vehicle and jumped out. While the SAPS concentrated on the vehicle, the air recovery team directed the ground recovery team to where the suspect was. He entered the A-Train shopping centre moment before the Matrix Vehicle Tracking ground recovery team could reach him.

The vehicle was severely damaged on the inside and was handed over to the SAPS for further investigation into the theft of the vehicle.
