Stolen Kubota U10 recovered in 50mins

A Kubota U10 was recently stolen from a site in Warrington in the middle of the night. Thankfully, the machine was installed with an AMI tracking solution, which provided the customer with frequent positions highlighting the machines movements throughout the night. 

When the customer arrived on site they noticed that the machine was no longer present. They alerted the hirer who notified AMI Group of the theft at 8:40am. AMI group was able to provide an up-to-date position to the customer (which is also available via the online platform/mobile apps) 10 miles from the site where the machine was working. 

The customer decided to head to the position and recovered their Kubota U10 from a field just 40 minutes after the machine was reported stolen to AMI Group – a fantastic result.
