  • This stolen pedestrian roller has been protected by an Automatrics MTrack Theft Recovery System. Can the team track down the stolen machine which is reporting in South Wales. Searching radio signals in Merthyr Tydfil is proving to be a significant challenge for the recovery team. Looks like the bandits might win the day or will the determination of the recovery team regain control. Follow the theft recovery operation to see if the team are be able to track down the stolen kit plus a stolen Transit which was also taken during the theft.

    Aberfan was the site of a catastrophe in the 60s in which a coal spoil tip collapsed onto a school, killing hundreds of children and many adults. It’s was a massive tragedy and as you can imagine, had a profound effect on the area - it’s likely that many of the headstones you saw were for those lost during the disaster.

      Unfortunately, as a result of 13 years of cuts, they have to consider the likelihood of successful prosecution. The roller had been outside and any forensic evidence was likely to be compromised. It’s therefore not effective use of money to recover it for forensic investigation as it is unlikely to yield anything of use.

    You should buy a drone to use in daylight to hover over properties, such as the DJI Mavic mini, it's below 249 grams so can be legally flown over residential, commercial,roads, virtually anywhere, would help when access to yards etc is impossible, it connects to a smartphone and records and takes pictures,I own one, fantastic and easy to fly.

    The tracker works better than youtubes notification that a new video is out. 9 days ago and i'm subbed and only just got it today.

    16:23 if it had been found on my land, there would be forensics and investigation. Police do not want to tackle the “do as you likies”
