The court was told that one of the thefts took place on January 31 last year, when a salesman from the Farnell Land Rover dealership in Bradford dealership was tricked into taking a £28,440 Land Rover Defender to a farm in the village Denby Dale after a potential buyer claimed he was doing some logging in the area.
There he met Harding, who was using a false name, and together they drove five miles to nearby Bretton before pulling into a layby. After distracting the salesman, Harding made a dash for the vehicle and sped off.
Matthew Donkin, prosecuting, said the salesman alerted his manager and because the vehicle had been fitted with a tracker, activated after the theft was reported, police traced it to a garage belonging to another gang member Daniel Banks, 24, within half an hour
Good to know that the tracker worked and was partly responsible for nabbing these low life's

Shame the tracker wasn't manufactured by claymore 
Now that's the sort of tracker i'd like to hear about being 'activated'
