- 28 Arrested in $3 Million Big-Box Store Heist During Hurricane Irma
During Hurricane Irma in Texas, more than two dozen people burglarized a big-box store making off with $3 million worth of cash and products ranging from electronics to sports equipment. Cash Tracker™ and Phone Tracker™ alerted police, but they couldn’t respond during the storm because the roads were impassable and there were other pressing emergencies. However, days after the storm was over, police went back and reviewed the track information. The trackers led police to two residential locations. Officers hit the jackpot after raiding these homes, finding several million dollars worth of stolen cash and equipment. Police arrested at least 28 people in connection to this incident. Without the track data, it is highly unlikely any of the criminals would have been caught or stolen merchandise recovered. - $324,000 – Jewelry Tracker™ – Roseville, CA – May 22
