FOXSAT-HDR Freesat+ boxes nicked
December 6th, 2008 by BGonaSTICK
A lorryload of Humax PVRs set to fill many a stocking later this month has be nicked from a lay-by in Northampton.
Humax have released the following statement:
Humax has confirmed that a shipment of FOXSAT-HDR Freesat+ boxes was stolen at the weekend, upon their arrival in the UK on 30th November. The matter is already under investigation by the police, who are looking to track the stolen goods via individual serial numbers which have been recorded by Humax.
Humax is urging any retailers who are offered quantities of the FOXSAT-HDR from unknown sources or under suspicious circumstances to notify Humax head office immediately, by calling 020 8326 6000. The theft will temporarily impact the supply of FOXSAT-HDR boxes to retailers across the UK, however additional shipments are due later this week.

I’ve just read an update to this story, which includes a more recent quote from Humax…
“We can confirm that 50% of the units that were stolen have been recovered, which are in working order and in the process of being shipped to retailers. However, there is still a significant number of units that have still not been found.”
Let’s hope they recover the rest!
