A CAR robbery incident has been foiled with the assistance of an advanced telematics solution by Citrans Telematics Solutions (Citracks), a division of C&I Leasing Plc.
The robbery, involving a Toyota Hilux vehicle belonging to C&I Leasing, had taken place in the early hours of Friday September 25th, 2020 around Kurudu, a suburb of Abuja, where it was parked.
With the tracking device that had previously been installed in the vehicle, the Citracks team was notified immediately the vehicle was stolen and the asset was demobilised.
