YouTube - Advanced Performance Machining (APM) - Robbery 6/3/2011

Here's the aftermath of the robbery at APM in Smeaton Grange, NSW Australia that left a thriving workshop almost empty and a business in tatters.

Any information leading to the apprehension of those responsible or the recovery of goods stolen should be provided to Police by calling Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.


This is not how one should be conducting themselves & someone out there must know something about this. The safe return of the gear if of the most concern at this time.

[Blown355cca]

If everyone could send it on to EVERYONE they know, it would be much appreciated. Thank you

[acarmody]

Damn that sucks. Didn't you have an alarm or anything? Was it bypassed? It would of taken hours for them to go though like that. Machinery would have had to be carefully loaded, surely someone must of seen something.

Scumbags have struck again.

Big haul there. fkn lowlife scum...

[Blown355cca]

Wasn't my shop, just forwarding it on for a friend..... But yes it would have taken quite awhile to pull it off, with a few people in tow, so someone somewhere has got to know something about this.

A few of the engines are quite easy to reconise & have been in magazines before, so if anyone see's anything let me know.

meh it's what insurance is for.

[Pub247]

meh it's what insurance is for.

money cant replace everything. However fixated on money you are theyre are other people out there that have a lot of sentimental value or attachment to things that money cant replace

[Dr HaxZaw]

meh it's what insurance is for.

depends if they cover the lost income... if not then its pretty harsh having to wait to get the money and then get all the parts you lost delivered... especially if you had promised something for a customer and werent able to deliver... hurts the companies name even if it wasnt their fault

[Blown355cca]

UPDATE:

HDT also had one of their transporters hit as well on the same night, keep an eye out for Cheap HDT stuff......
