Burglars Caught Red-Handed with GPS Tracking

one of which is the GPS tracking device.  GPS tracking devices utilize satellites in space that receive information and transmit it back to earth to various receivers.  These devices can be installed in a car with or without the owner’s knowledge.  GPS tracking devices can locate a car in real time, which means that you can watch it en route on your computer, or you can remove the device and read the car’s travel history.  Either way, GPS tracking devices are helpful pieces of electronic technology.

GPS tracking devices are especially helpful when tracking cars that belong to people with questionable activities.  One example of this was recently reported in Hutchinson, Kansas.  There was a serial burglar on the loose, and the police had a hunch who the culprit was, but they needed to be sure.  The Hutchinson police department received a court order to place a GPS tracking device on the car belonging to the couple in question.

The suspected burglars had no idea that the tracking device was on their car, and their activity level and patterns reflected just that.  The police received an exact location of the perpetrators and their car every five minutes, and they were in the vicinity of a series of seven homes that were robbed in one afternoon.

The information about the car that the police received was enough to send the case to court.  This gives the police a chance to prosecute this couple and put an end to the serial burglaries.  The GPS tracking device is the true hero in this situation.  It was able to catch the burglars in action and put them at the scene of the crime.

While the police were able to receive information every five minutes as to where the serial burglars were, there is another way to use tracking devices.  If you do not have the time to watch a vehicle in real time, you can simply take the removable tracking device off the car and connect it to your computer.  You can easily look at details about the car’s usage; you can see where and when it was driven, as well as the location of stops and the speeds at which it drives.  This capability also comes in handy to the police who find GPS to be an effective crime fighting tool.
