Sky NewsCar owners in Perth will be approached to have free GPS trackers installed in their vehicles, in a move to crack down on thieves.
The world-first scheme is a game changer in law enforcement, Police Minister Liza Harvey has told The Sunday Times.
The RAC will install one thousand free GPS devices in cars, in a bid to shake Western Australia’s reputation as being the car theft capital of Australia.
Recent figures show one car is stolen every hour in WA.
The trackers won’t be issued to just anybody – Department of Transport records will be used to approach motorists who drive car makes and models that are most commonly stolen.
