Seven stolen vehicles recovered using telematics
On Friday 24 June, the police, in collaboration with Digitpol, found and seized seven stolen vehicles of the brands Mercedes, Range Rover, VW and Toyota in the Amsterdam region.
Cooperation
In order to find more stolen vehicles, VbV has been working together with Digitpol - a licensed Private Investigation Agency - specialized in forensic investigation and detection since 2021.
How does it work?
Immediately after placing the theft signal in the VbV application (Missing Auto Register), Digitpol automatically receives a digital notification. The moment a vehicle, equipped with specific telematics, gives off a signal, the vehicle can be followed in real time.
