Gang on GPS robbery trail in the southwest

4 September 2017 - Clarisse van der Woude - 4 comments

They know exactly what to have, because older systems leave the gang undisturbed. Just before and during the weekend, at least 14 GPS systems were stolen on Tholen and in the Woensdrecht area.

In the night of Thursday 31 August to Friday 1 September, the first 3 sets were stolen from an arable farmer in Woensdrecht and last weekend the theft of another 11 sets was discovered at Tholen.

They know in advance who to be with and just break open the shed

Well prepared to work
The gang seems to be preparing well for the theft. "They know in advance who to contact and just break open the shed", says 1 of the victims, who has almost €3 in damage with the theft of 50.000 GPS systems. 

Older systems remain
Peter Botermans from Vervaet Steenbergen shares that opinion. "The gang knows what to have because the older systems leave them behind." According to him, 11 John Deere GPS systems were stolen from Tholen last weekend. "Apart from the considerable damage, it is also very annoying. For example, customers can now not drive with a field sprayer. On Sunday I helped customers who had to spray with a new set. All affected customers can now get back to work on the country."

you would think they had access to info from suppliers.
Or can specific characteristics of signals to be received be recognized by an insider?

Nowadays it is not difficult to see who is driving which equipment:
see agrifoto.nl or various facebook groups.
there it says by name and by name who drives where...

sometimes arm has its advantages, like with this GPS thing, here only markers, always signal.

haven't read it yet that they also gape the markers

I do feel rich

Rich or not, they should stay off other people's stuff. Hopefully they catch the culprits. And that they also get a punishment after due!!! Because that doesn't stop them from continuing to steal.
