Automatrics Stolen Terex Roller Theft Recovery Operation in South Wales

[@m1k1a1]

Eight years old tracker tech, inside a steel roller, in a weak signal location. Still did its job. That's quality.

[@markescartin1915]

Tech has become increasingly cheaper. No reason they couldn't have expedited the search with a commercial grade drone?

9:31 - The white graves are the children who died in the 1966 Aberfan disaster when a coal tip slid down the hill and engulfed their primary school.

When I was in College, we had to do a project on the Aberfan incident that killed so many people. It was a horrifying thing to happen.

[@PaulM_aka_4c21]

Remember it well, awful disaster.

[@vandit6354]

The only reason I know about that was from watching The Crown. That episode teared me up.

[@Biffo1262]

It doesn't matter that the value of the item is low. Catching the scumbags is what really matters.

[@steveleslie2170]

Do you know how many get caught then are released the next day to start all over again....I'm Canadian and it's sickening.

[@jswmonkey197]

@@steveleslie2170 Sadly like any other 'profession' career criminals are masters of their trade which makes it extremely difficult to convict especially when resources are so stretched.

[@JamesOversteer]

It’s wales, they will never be punished, this same roller will be stolen by the same people again soon. South wales police are lazy useless pricks who can’t be bothered getting off their arses to solve any crime in this city.

[@steve5772]

26 hours? There's dedication to the cause!

[@stevefoster2038]

Great find, shows your commitment to your customers irrespective of age, condition or value of the item. Also after 8 years how good your trackers are.

[@joeennis2571]

lots of businesses struggling, it may not be expensive but it is a loss a struggling man can not afford

[@joaquinpv7904]

It will be easier to put a tracker in those thieves

[@Hopgop1]

Could tell the cracking at the end was pained haha. Great to see the ones that aren't so straight forward, shows your integrity. Old tracking unit in rural Wales deep inside a steel roller is bloody good going.

[@BronsonTheCat]

Shows he is still committed to the cause!

[@davidfarmer2049]

The lad looked very very tired indeed.

[@Marky.H]

Whatever this man charges for his services its worth every penny. Good work 👏

[@JosephRedfern]

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.

[@lindastorey6685]

Joseph Redfern it was a coal slag heap from a coal mine not a quarry.The awful thing is the national coal board knew the slag heap was being dumped on the sight of a stream .That's why thedisaster happened,coal board negligence cost those children and adults their lives .

[@JosephRedfern]

@@lindastorey6685 Thank you Linda -- I've updated my comment to replace "quarry" with "coal".

The white headstones to the right at the end are all the graves from the disaster.

[@wyattfamily8997]

I'd be interested to hear about the outcome for the thieves, it seems they rarely pay any price for their criminal activity at all.

[@nw7654]

The police only care about you saying nasty things online or auditors filming

[@blackcountryme]

Surprised you hadn't hear of the Aberfan disaster, the cemetery had the curved arch headstones/ memorial. A spoil heap slid down the valley and buried the local school and part of the town itself in 1966, Bloody awful

[@stujohnson7941]

It's a great day when notifications of your videos come up!

[@mooghead]

Agree!

[@MrCallidus]

The "cracking" at the end never disappoints... the pause was perfect

[@chainsawdom1]

You don’t post regular enough your vids are top class

[@seanpetty393]

If this video is from April, 2020, just think how many more Richard has still to post!!

[@andrewshoe6832]

@The Nuckin Foob That's correct, he's stated that in the past. Ongoing court cases and whatnot.

[@alexmorgan3435]

@thenuckinfoob01 Yebbut this one the plod just laughed when Richard asked whether they were going to do any forensics on the roller.

[@BiohazardX9]

@The Nuckin Foob totally agree, this video alone would be evidence in court/legal proceedings. he would have to wait for a 100% cert to release the video, in some cases probably not allowed to launch even after the all clear. (there will always be that one person/company that will counter sue for slander even though the were the ones who thieved the item) still good videos though.

[@DaveTibbetts]

Best trackers in the business. Just wish you posted more

[@bEEBO178]

I have a tracker with this company. Have to say they're awesome and go out of their way to help. Had an issue with the battery on my unit and they sorted it straight away.

[@acemannw]

You guys should post more of these they are really interesting.

[@jackos944]

they have to wait due to ongoing investigations etc i believe

[@Mark-im2go]

Great operation! The only way we are gonna stop plant theft is if equipment keeps getting recovered!

[@georgezarifis7409]

I love your videos and admire your company and your dedication to it. Keep up the good work!

[@relaxingnature2617]

Its nice how you showed us scenery on this episode

[@LittleNoiseBoy]

Well done, Sir: fine advert for your services.

[@Christopher_S]

See, the thing that would be important to me would be principle. I wouldn't care about the value of the item, or the condition after the theft, but on principle I would want it back. Even if I had to scrap it, I would just love to see the face on the thieves faces. Great job Automatrics, another brilliant recovery.

[@Byzmax]

Good job. I know the police often lack resources like many other public services but the lack of interest in tracking the thieves is depressing as it is a choice.

[@Spookieham]

Depends on the force. The Met don't give a toss whereas other forces turn up mob handed and turn the place over.

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

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.

[@Bob-jx5wy]

Love your videos, just wish there were more of them! Please keep them coming
