In December 2024, the Cartrack Recovery Team was on routine patrol when they spotted a bakkie and received signal jamming alerts.
They pursued the vehicle, but the driver sped off. After a short chase, the bakkie hit a dead end and was safely recovered, with a jamming device found inside.
Investigations showed it had cloned number plates and belonged to a delivery company in Cape Town. Our control room discovered the tracking unit was from a third-party provider, not Cartrack. We contacted the vehicle's owner and handed it over to the police.
Cartrackhas plenty of products that customers love, such as:
