Stolen Mercedes GLS Automatrics London Theft Recovery Operation

Yet another Mercedes theft through the vehicle key cloning, its just all too easy for a three man team caught on CCTV. Follow the Automatrics theft recovery team when they are contacted by a car hire company to try to locate a stolen Mercedes GLS. Time appears to be against the team as the vehicle reported location is suspected of being a chop / dismantle shop and the police are struggling to support the team. A big thanks to our customer for pushing police support to return on this one and to Danny for his once again speedy attendance, dedication, resolve and recovery skills.
Warning strong emotive language is used within this operation.
Mapping locations statement:
While maps and locations of our devices are generally accurate we advise that these graphic depicted locations are only an approximation, they are not guaranteed to be completely accurate and as such they cannot be used to suspected the location they show. The actual true locations of any recovered stolen asset can only be confirmed when they eyeballed by witnesses and then captured on our video footage.
Please note, there was a deliberate delay in releasing this video to enable the police to thoroughly investigate the theft. No police arrests have been advised to Automatrics, however our operational intel may have helped the Met police.
Clearly the Met police had difficulties to support Automatrics access to the tracked vehicle in a more timely manner in this particular operation. Although we describe possible reasons for police delays and why a warrant may not have been authorised we cannot confirm that our thoughts were in fact the case. For sure the customer outcome may have been significantly improved had they responded quicker. This vehicle with all parts (except the wheels) and was later sold at auction to help recover the majority of the value of the car.

[@tonysuda9066]

No need for pace for these crimes.. maybe a hail of bullets to slap them into sense against sticking up cars

[@brucerioch3832]

Section 17 Pace provides entry for arrest not to retrieve stolen property. If the argument was the offender/s were on site, sec 17 could be used, but the reason they wanted police to enter under 17 was to retrieve the stolen property, which would be unlawful under 17. The Police from what I can see have it correct when they say they need a warent. Not suggesting they should have disappeared in the first instance. They should have been looking for an emergency warent.

[@AutomatricsMtrack]

Point noted, joking aside, watch a few more theft recovery operational videos to discover some better customer investment results, saving owners up to £350K This client was operating a self insured rental business, as such any financially viable good insurance option would be hard to find. Most insurance policy fees are significantly increasing above inflation, insurers are definitely not flavour of the month. Theft claims are regarded as a policy holder fault claim, meaning if you have to claim that leaves a pretty expensive black mark for anyone for the next 5 years insurance premiums. You may keep your no claims discount but the actual premium will sky rocket. Most clients do not claim on any insurance, they get their vehicle back, avoid devaluation haggling sessions with an insurer, and they also retain vehicle value avoiding a "Stolen Vehicle DVLA Marker" as triggered by a theft insurance claim.

Wish they were more patient and caught the chop shop guys in the act. Amazing they didn’t find the tracker even after such an extensive disassembly

must admit that thing was bloody well hid.

Police and magistrates are absolutely hopeless that car could have been saved. Makes you angry

[@patrickjm3487]

I really hope that the owners get paid for their new jeep that was dismantled into spare parts - it’s ridiculous how the police treated this dude for the stuff he does with stolen items and other expensive stuff the Man is one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet And then the police done a very bad no help at all from the first team of police the second team were helpful !!! Anyone watching these programs know how he goes straight away when he gets a call he’ll jump on a plane or whatever else to help his clients the man is a big gentleman and I’m fuming about the way they treated him not very nice)) Mr auto mateticks man love your videos and the way you will do anything to help your clients and you are a decent man God bless ya sir and keep them videos coming!!!

[@Andy713uk]

Why were you not allowed to use the drone? Great video BTW, it's amazing how much the law is on the side of criminals in the UK 😕

[@paulperry7091]

In a case like this, a camera on the end of a long fishing rod can sometimes be just as good. Not quite legal to actually put it over a fence, but you won't risk the huge penalties for unauthorised flying.

[@Timjacks01]

Ridiculous how the police handled this.

[@bmwe39m5]

Much better format, back to normal 👍

[@Gypsyjohn476]

Proper job bruvva

[@eet4993]

The fact the old bill couldn’t show up straight away could be down to something as simple as their cars were in the shop getting wrapped in the rainbow flag, Besides that I doubt there was an easy fine to be handed out. Priorities people, priorities.

[@tgreen3198]

They should of sent a Drone up!!

[@dazer123]

Unbelievable police response. Utterly shameful on there part, but huge respect for your company and your dogged commitment to getting the clients car back

[@lancer525]

A new Automatrics Recovery Operation! Cracking!!!

[@excossack]

Enjoying the vids. For times like this you need a borescope for poking under roller doors.

[@StyleRecordGroupcom]

What type of tracker do you use for you to pick up, and how many tackers in a car

[@BF1GUN]

If there's an ongoing, maybe covert, operation ongoing, what you don't want to do is send multiple officers, vehicles and police helicopter to the scene!! Overall, a complete cock up by police, which if dealt differently, could have culminated in arrests.

[@AutomatricsMtrack]

Good point - thanks for your comment 👍👍

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

can't move in on it because there must be an ongoing covert operation where they are waiting for the chance to catch the chop shop in action. like i dunno, maybe a stolen merc with a tracker onboard, getting stripped down in the unit being watched?

[@thefiestaguy8831]

Not really a cock up, they wouldn’t know until they start putting an intel package together for the warrant, a lot of the intel is located with a separate intel team who the officers on scene wouldn’t usually be in contact with, but need to speak to to obtain further intel for a warrant to be put in front of the magistrate, there’s no cock up here whatsoever, it’s a case of the public thinking they know better than the officers, which most of have been doing the job for years and know it inside out, back to front. It’s easy for people to criticise saying that they should have just busted in, the reality is, if they bust in, and it’s not there, and the landowner complains, at any civil court hearing it would likely be deemed they had limited evidence that the vehicle was actually at THAT location and therefore they had no rights to force entry, meaning the officer that forced entry is then liable to be prosecuted for criminal damage, losing their job and with a strong chance of going to prison, as the charging standards are lower. Had it been absolutely clear the stolen vehicle was definitely in that unit, I.e it could be seen from a window, it would be a very different story. When the officer said “assuming we have enough resources”… he simply means assuming there are enough officers on shift at the time, and they aren’t all busy dealing with calls, as per earlier on when they were pulled away to deal with a job. When you have for example a domestic assault suspect still on scene with the victim, and nobody else free, you aren’t going to leave multiple officers stood outside a unit where stolen property might be, especially when given the limited evidence that it is there, you will likely need a warrant anyway. Ask yourself this… would you rather officers remained on scene with some stolen property, or attended a serious call, like the one mentioned above, or a collapse in the street or behind locked doors, or a stabbing? That is the reality of policing, some days they are plenty of officers available, other times there aren’t. You have to remember at any one time there will no doubt be numerous officers sat in hospital with prisoners who are too unwell for custody, so spend days in hospital, sometimes even weeks or months, there will be prisoners who have attempted suicide or self harm in their cell, so officers are forced to sit outside their cell on a plastic chair with the door wide open, watching them all shift, not allowed to read a book, or look at their phone, just sit there looking at them, or chatting with them for 9-10 hours. Having done plenty of these in the past, it’s utterly mind numbing but it has to be done under the current blame culture, where it’s always “someone else’s fault”…

[@jackrobinson6277]

@@thefiestaguy8831 You are very wrong. If there was such intel on the building and an investigation already underway, Tell me why access was given 2 days later (wheres this big investigation that no warrant can be issued) and to top it off, they didnt even want forensics on the building or car (AGAIN, WHERES THIS BIG INVESTIGATION??). The cops lied through all of this, and they are responsible for the loss of the vehicle and they need to pay MTrack staff wages for so much wasted time on this case.

[@The_loud_r]

I bloody love these videos, especially the road vehicles recovery’s. Bloody good job guys.

[@suzieb8366]

Great work!!!!! by AutomatricsMTrack.... Cops have to play it by the book, if they didnt they may catch the bandits but when it comes to court, if they didnt do everything by the book the bandits could end up walking free. BUT....Sighhhh the fact they didnt want anything to do with the "Case" at the end is shameful,,,,obviously crime DOES PAY!

This is absolutely nuts.

[@philippw1971]

How the police dealt with that situation makes me furious!

[@fitzpatrickken]

That was utter tosh about the ongoing police operation being blown by the issue of the warrant! The three police cars at the property & a gaggle of cops would have blown the operation anyway!

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

yeah they clearly just made that bit up to get out of there before shift change

[@brandonlink6568]

What's there to blow? If you wanted proof there's a chop shop well bam you just got it handed to you

[@MrLongshot26]

How much more evidence can you hand on a plate to them?

[@jamesh7395]

Another great video, thank you. Watching this, and from many other impressions I've had over the years, the British Police often seem to be quite hopeless. Slow to attend crime scenes, and a bit half hearted. I'm genuinely intrigued as to why this is. Is it that there's so much crime in the UK, that they're stretched thin and just can't keep up? Is it a civil service culture of indifference? Is it bureaucracy and inefficiency? Are they well intentioned but just hampered by legal requirements? Or is it corruption? I just don't get it.

Well I pity anyone having a vehicle stolen, a house burgled or infact having to call the police for anything at all in Rainham, Essex. Disgusting response from them. Hang your heads in shame every one of you. Well done Automatrics for sticking it out - even though you were banging your head against a brick wall.

[@Screwy9758]

What do you expect, it's Rainham, one of the bases for the Police Interceptor (T.V show) & that's more important. Telling the public what fave food, shitty football team they like etc, driving fast cars & getting their mugs on T.V. chasing EASY collars than doing "real" Police work!

[@scottread]

The law enforcement response was absolutely woeful.

[@1chish]

Bloody great sign above the door with 'G Class Autos' and the stolen car was a G Class! Police as always about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
