"For Agrotrans this is second one in six months"
Belgium: Trailer and truck stolen from REO Auction House
Last week-end two thefts were committed at the grounds of REO-Auction House. A trailer of Rejo Fresh and a truck of Agrotrans were stolen. "Our trailer was supposed to be washed this week-end and therefore was removed from the tractor" Johan Chrétien of Rejo Fresh said. "The grounds are protected, but the thieves forced the gate."
"After that they attached the trailer to the truck of Agrotrans and left. The
track&trace system was put out of action as quickly as possible, so we have no idea which direction they took" he mentions disappointedly. "The police assume that the combination is on the way to Eastern Europe."
Johan fears that he will not see the brand new trailer of Rejo Fresh ever again. "I expect that our name has been removed and the number plate changed. And it is of course difficult to recognize a white trailer." The transport contractor is disappointed. "We need this trailer. Now we must just make do with what we have."
Argrotrans
Argrotrans take care of the transport for Demargro. Chris Lampaert mentions. that the last signal of the truck was on Sunday morning. The track&tracing system
is very well hidden in the lorry. As soon as the thieves had found it they disconnected it. About ten kms. down the road to Waregem we lost track" he mentions.
It is a double set-back within six months for Agrotrans. "A few months ago another truck was stolen. Later it was found on a Russian website. Still exactly as it was originally. We think that the truck is again going in the direction of Russia. Possibly it may again be offered for sale at such a website.
"It is difficult for us: two thefts in six months" Chris sighs. "It is the same kind of truck, which disappeared in the same mysterious way. It is starting to become a habit. The results are beyond telling. We have to hire external transport to be able to do our work. Also all personal belongings of the driver are gone." According to Lampaert this kind of tractor has been the preferred bait for thieves in the region frequently.
