So what can you fit inside a standard size shipping container? Huge stacks of electronic items, home goods, hazardous liquids or perhaps four full size Range Rovers, if you’re adamant enough.
Given the fact that Range Rover makes some of the largest production vehicles in the world, it is both surprising and commendable to see how someone managed to squeeze in not one but four Range Rovers inside a 40 foot shipping container.
The police at Tilbury Port in the UK were in for a surprise when they opened the 40 foot container to discover the four Range Rovers squeezed in like puzzle pieces. Thanks to the hidden Tracker device on one of the vehicles, the whole stash of stolen vehicles, valued in excess of £250,000 (RS 2.30 crore), was recovered, before they could be shipped overseas, never to be seen again.
“The Port of Tilbury, like other major UK ports, has always been a hotspot that criminals use to get stolen vehicles out of the country in a short period of time.” explains Adrian Davenport, Police Liaison Manager for Tracker. “Official figures show per cent of stolen vehicles are never recovered and this case shows us why, as criminals hide the vehicles and ship them.” He added.
