Vehicle tracking and recovery specialist AX Track has entered into a Home Office subsidised collaboration with Gloucestershire Police to help reduce agricultural machinery and vehicle theft in the county. The collaboration aims to both improve recovery rates and create a more powerful deterrent.

Neil Thomas, director of investigative services at AX Track, said: “This trailblazing initiative will make a real contribution to reducing rural theft in Gloucestershire. Agricultural machinery is hugely expensive and absolutely essential to farmers and their livelihoods. By collaborating with Gloucestershire Police, together we will also increase public confidence and demonstrate that private industry partners can make a valuable contribution to communities.”
