Copper Theft and Recovery – Over $1,200,000 recovered quickly

A major copper producer had suffered two thefts within 24 hours. It was the same driver in each incident.

Through a recommendation from their logistics provider, they quickly installed Regiscope’s systems to register and validate all drivers entering and leaving their facility, enabling them to document all handoffs of copper to each driver.

Shortly afterwards, a clever scheme by a dishonest employee of a transportation broker sent five unsuspecting drivers to pick up five loads of copper anodes, each valued at around $250,000, and to deliver this copper to criminal associates.

The theft was quickly discovered, and the police were dispatched to the security office at the copper mine, where security personnel were able to quickly provide the police with all the photos and data captured through the Regiscope system for each driver and trailer.

The police were then quickly able to find each driver and recover each load. They were also able to identify and prosecute the criminals involved, using the Regiscope photos and data as evidence.
