Episode 15

When machete-wielding thieves steal a luxury car, a vehicle-tracking company jump into action. But will they be able to trace the much-loved motor?

Tracker Richard is on the hunt for an unusual item that’s been snatched from a building site. It’s a specialised shower unit used by construction workers who have been exposed to hazardous substances, and without it, work has come to a halt. The vehicle’s tracker leads Richard, and the police, to a location in the West Country. Will they get it back without retaliation from the ruthless thieves?

Organised crime gangs often target luxury supercars due to their high value on the black market. And the thieves will stop at nothing to get their hands on them – even arming themselves with weapons. When motor sports enthusiast Mark Cowne viewed CCTV footage of his Ferrari Pista being stolen, he was shocked to see the machete-wielding crooks in action. But a specialist vehicle-tracking company is on a mission to get it back.

It's not just cars the criminals set their sights on. Valuable electric bikes are also being stolen in cities across the UK. In London, bike recovery specialist Bilal is on the hunt for an e-bike, and the GPS signal has led him to a property in a block of flats. But when the resident gives him access, he’s shocked to discover what appears to be a bike chop shop.
