A four-man landscaping crew was held at gunpoint and robbed in southwest Houston. The thief got away with $30,000 worth of equipment—or so he thought.
The owner of IMPEC Landscape Conservation, Clayton Olvera, shared the story of what happened as a cautionary tale for other would-be robbers.
“More and more trucks and outfits like ours, small businesses, are getting these vehicles and equipment with GPS tracking deep inside the vehicles and machinery, so it’s going to be harder and harder to take this equipment in the future,” Olvera said.
Thanks to GPS tracking, police were able to arrest the robbery suspect 30 minutes away from the robbery scene. All of the stolen items were recovered.
