Stolen steel plates worth one hundred thousand euros recovered through tracking deviceA tipster alerted Venlo-Beesel police that the stolen trailer had resurfaced nearby.
Yet the trailer was empty, and the valuable steel plates had vanished.
Hidden tracker precisely mapped every earlier location where the trailer had stood. With prosecutors' approval, officers patiently watched suspect warehouse through a high window.
Stacked pallets inside revealed stolen plates, so officers finally opened the door. Teamwork, tracking data, and vigilance finally returned the plates to their owner.
