Stolen container clothes found thanks to GPS

utrecht - Thieves have stolen Monday bags of discarded clothes from textile containers in Uden, but a day later found in Poland thanks to a lock-GPS between the clothes. The transmitter was on the way to follow the van from the thieves. The perpetrators are missing, the clothes lying on a police station in the town of Czaplinek in northwestern Poland.

According to Marc Vooges, director of clothing collector Sympany, it is about 3,000 to 4,000 kilos of clothes. Such a charge is several hundred euros worth. According Vooges have the perpetrators Monday paraded in North Brabant looking for textiles. They would probably sell the clothes on the black market.

Sympany already used to monitor some time GPS trackers for perpetrators and thus have been arrested previously clothes thieves. Vooges: ' I do not discriminate, but they are almost always Eastern Europeans. They get a report, to be released after arrest and go straight on. Arrest for them is an occupational hazard. ''
