A DRIVER thought he’d gotten lucky when he tracked his stolen Mercedes to a garage just round the corner from a police station - but now claims cops are refusing to look for it. The 45-year-old installed an AirTag in his luxury £50,000 car in case he ever forgot where he’d parked it. But when the white Mercedes GLS was stolen from his home in Acton, west London , in the early hours of Wednesday October 16, he instead used it to trace the thieves’ movements.
The dad-of-three, who works at a consulting firm, watched as his car was left in a park for seven hours. He claims it was then moved to a garage in east London - just a five-minute drive from Grays Police Station. The dad believes that criminals are disassembling the car in order to sell its parts.
