When Concord, CA Police tracked down a stolen Nissan Pathfinder with the help of the LoJack® system, they not only recovered the vehicle, but also uncovered a major shoplifting operation.
On October 1st, 2013, the Nissan’s owner contacted Concord Police to report the crime. Officers verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers. The LoJack unit concealed in the Pathfinder, which was installed at Ellis Brooks Auto Center in San Francisco, CA, was then automatically activated.
A short time later, a Concord PD K-9 officer picked up the homing signals from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. He called for backup and tracked the Pathfinder to the parking lot of a large national home improvement store in Concord. A suspect was in the SUV along with over $3000 of stolen merchandise. The driver was taken into custody along with his two accomplices who were still in the store. The undamaged Nissan was soon returned to its very relieved owner.
