We are terrible for reporting on successes – but this community member was so determined to get assistance to find the onwer, we thought his actions deserved recognition. We won’t mention names, as we do everything anonymously by default.
We had a report come into us regarding a member of the community on Facebook, struggling to find the owner of a Ducati Multistrada that he had found stashed in Bromley, SE London. He gave us the location, vehicle details with comprehensive images. Through his actions and the co-operation with our recovery team and the Metropolitan Police we managed to trace the vehicle theft report and alert the owner to the bikes location. He was delighted and on his way to collect.
It is this selfless action from the community to doggedly attempt to find help in returning bikes to their owners. With our strong connections and links within Police Intelligence we can often have matters resolved within hours, as was the case here. Within a number of hours, the owner was traced and being reunited with his machine and all down to one individual that contacted us for assistance. He thanked us for what we do – but as we said to him; It’s the community that want change that make it happen! As the motto goes; Oculi el Auris Umbris Venatu. Without the eyes and ears hunting from the shadows – the thieves are free to do as they wish, it is the community that unmask them. It is the Community that are the strength, we just make it happen – be proud of your community and make a stand! Take back your Community!
Many thanks to the community member – you know who you are! It’s people like you that this country needs.
You can send your intelligence for anywhere in the country to our website, and we will action that immediately. Our links with Police Intelligence will often see issues resolved within hours. It is anonymous, your details will not even be passed to Police.
