Boomerang Tracking Inc. (TSX:BMG) successfully located a rare and extremely valuable piece of construction equipment as part of a recent tracking operation in Ontario.
The Boomerang Tracking Team was notified of the theft of a Caterpillar 416 from a construction site and immediately set out in search of the machine. With the aid of a helicopter to obtain a location more quickly, Boomerang trackers also located a Bowinger Eagle that had been reported stolen to authorities three months prior. The Bowinger, one of only two in Canada, with an approximate value of $800,000, had been stolen from a construction company in Brossard, Quebec.
“The Boomerang® tracking devices continue to demonstrate their added value in the fight against vehicle theft. Not only are they effective in recovering stolen assets equipped with the devices, but in many cases lead to the recovery of other stolen vehicles simultaneously that are not equipped with a Boomerang device.” stated Linda Farha, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Boomerang Tracking. “These incidentals have led to many arrests as well as the dismantling of major crime rings across Ontario and Quebec” concluded Ms. Farha.
To date, the Boomerang and Boomerang2™ devices have recovered a value of over $93 million in stolen assets including incidental recoveries.
