Clarksville semi-tow theft highlights growth of the national edition in the middle of chip deficiency

Clarksville, Tenn. (WZTV) – A costly and considered theft developed on a daily transmission property in Clarksville, where four half -lines were broken into early Wednesday morning.

The suspects smashed windows and stole essential truck components that are known as a common drive strand regulator (CPCs)-high-quality parts that serve as a central computer system in large commercial vehicles.

This is how the employee Hayden Bollinger described the situation. The CPC is often referred to as the “brain” of a half damage. It combines and manages communication between engine, gearbox and brake systems. The replacement of a CPC, including re -wiring, could cost thousands of dollars per truck.

“We are moving things for the military, so it delays work in the whole country,” said Bollinger.

Monitoring material from the property shows two people who wear hoodies and masks with hoods. This is the first reported CPC theft in Clarksville, but the police say that this is part of a troubling national trend. Since the global microchip deficiency continues, the demand for CPCs has increased the black market – which makes commercial trucks a main goal.

The Clarksville police call on the vigilance and support of the community.

In order to ensure your CPC insurer, the police recommend locking your CPC with a secure password and reporting a missing CPC immediately so that it can be tracked via the clear ID number.

The employees on the transmission property estimate the incident. The company costs around 20,000 US dollars compensation and delays.

The police asks everyone who can recognize the suspects of surveillance images to report.
