A family car fitted with a child seat is stolen off a driveway by car key burglars. But as the heartless thieves make their getaway, tracker Richard is alerted by the vehicle’s tiny tracking device and is quickly hot on their heels. There is a setback when the thieves find the car’s tracker, realising it is transmitting a GPS signal and that they are being followed. They dispose of the tracker, and the trail goes cold, but Richard’s not about to give up. Can he find another way to trace the family’s car and return it to its rightful owners?\n\nAt Felixstowe Port, stolen vehicle examiner Adam intercepts a suspect shipping container about to leave the country, heading for Africa. Inside, he finds five stolen vehicles, all with false plates to disguise their true identities.\n\nIn Coventry, former police officer Neil is on the trail of a stolen VW Golf fitted with a satellite tracker. It’s parked in a residential street, but are the thieves lying in wait?
