Officers verified the theft and entered the trailer information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the trailer.
A short while later, officers with the Oklahoma City PD and deputies with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Department picked up the homing signal from the stolen trailer with the LoJack tracking computer installed in their patrol cars.

Meridian where the trailer being pulled by a pickup. The truck was stopped and two suspects were taken into custody. The trailer was soon released to the relieved business owner.
