Stolen Cat^® D6K Stopped in its tracks by Interpol thanks to Product Link and Cat Dealer

Following the discovery of the theft of its recently purchased Caterpillar® D6K track-type tractor from a site in Essex, UK, at midnight on 14th of February, Sewells Reservoir Construction ltd (SRC), operations manager, Oli Rees immediately contacted local Caterpillar dealer Finning’s out of hours service and support team. Thanks to Product Link on the stolen machine, the team at Finning was able to use the GPS technology within the Product Link system to track the unit’s movements.

To everyone’s surprise it had taken the thieves less than 12 hours to move the D6K from its Essex location, over the English Channel to France. But the biggest surprise was reserved for the thieves themselves, when officers from Interpol located their vehicle in a lorry park just 20 miles from the German border at 6.30pm, the same day.
