ABAX trackers help Norwegian firm recover stolen tools—twice

When thieves targeted Norwegian construction company Park & Anlegg AS, ABAX's tracking technology played a crucial role in recovering stolen equipment on two separate occasions.​

International theft foiled with real-time GPS

In one incident, several containers were broken into, and valuable tools were stolen and transported out of the country. Utilising ABAX's real-time GPS tracking system, Park & Anlegg traced the stolen items across borders. Collaborating with customs officials in Norway and Sweden, they followed the trail to a ferry in Kapellskär, Sweden, bound for Estonia. Thanks to the live tracking data, Estonian police were ready and waiting when the ferry arrived, leading to the arrest of the thieves and the recovery of the stolen tools.​

Quick thinking and ABAX Locator stop local theft

In another case, vigilant employees at Park & Anlegg's headquarters in Sarpsborg noticed signs of a break-in. Several pieces of equipment were missing. Using the ABAX app, they quickly identified that seven of the stolen items were located near a petrol station along the E6 motorway.

A manager promptly went to the location and spotted a white van with foreign plates, suspecting it contained the stolen tools. Police were alerted and responded swiftly. The van was impounded and brought back to Park & Anlegg's premises, where the stolen equipment was recovered.​

The importance of reliable tracking

These incidents highlight the effectiveness of ABAX's tracking solutions in asset management and theft prevention.

"Having the right tool in the right place at the right time is extremely important for us to be effective in our projects. In addition, it helps reduce stress and gives our employees a better everyday experience."​

Sigbjørn Rød, HR and Resource Manager at Park & Anlegg

By implementing ABAX's tracking technology, Park & Anlegg not only safeguarded their assets but also ensured operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.​
