Illegal Chop Shops Dramatically On The Rise In 2023

In the first six months of 2023, joint operations between stolen vehicle recovery expert (SVR) Tracker Network (UK) and U.K. police forces have uncovered 34 illegal ‘chop shops’ nationwide. This compares to an annual total of 32 for 2022. The locations of these chop shops have been uncovered a result of Tracker’s unique combination of VHF with GPS/GSM technology covertly fitted to stolen vehicles, leading police directly to them. Not only have significant numbers of Tracker installed vehicles been recovered from these sites, but hundreds of other stolen vehicles and equipment worth millions of pounds, resulting in multiple arrests.

Tracker warns drivers of new Car Cannibalism trend

Vehicles are being stripped for parts wherever they are parked, rather than being stolen and dismantled at another location. This technique is fast, does not rely on the criminals transporting or storing vehicles, and is also harder to protect against. Stolen vehicle recovery expert Tracker Network U.K. Ltd, is urging car owners to be aware of the new trend and associated risks as it becomes more prominent across the country.

Dash cams and telematics technology are a road safety marvel to be applauded

Tracker, urges fleet managers to educate company vehicle drivers of the wider benefits of using dash cams and telematics technology.

However, not all business drivers are happy to have smart dash cam and telematics technology accompany them on the road, despite the positive impact it is having in terms improving road safety and minimising their liability in the event of a collision.
