Starting just south of Brissie, ending just south of Moree.

 

The police were helped by a private helicopter pilot who tracked them and relayed the information to police.

 

WELL DONE to the pilot.

is there more to this story?

i have so many questions

 

was this stolen in a trailer, or flown?

how did the helicopter pilot know to track them?

Sorry I don't have much more detail.

 

I'm sure it will be somewhere on the bigger 'net.

Far out,

wonder what was going through the guys mind.

stealing heavy equipment is common - easy to sell to unsuspecting farmers etc...

no registration, very unlikely to be found again.

 

but to keep going after all that. he must have known he was never getting away.

absolute desperation.
