LoJack® System Helps Bronx District Attorney’s Auto Squad Recover Stolen Suzuki Motorcycle

The owner of a 2009 Suzuki GSX R-600 Motorcycle contacted NYPD’s 47^th precinct to report that their vehicle was stolen while parked in front of their residence on Barnes Avenue, in the N/E section of the Bronx.

NYPD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers (NYSPIN/ NCIC) which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Suzuki.

A short while later detectives from the Bronx DA’s Auto Squad picked up the silent LoJack® homing signals from the stolen Suzuki with the LoJack® Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the detectives tracked the stolen motorcycle to a residential 2- family home on E. 232^nd Street, in the Bronx’s 47^th precinct. The location was secured by the DA’s Office detectives while they obtained a search warrant and a LoJack handheld device was used to pinpoint the precise location where the signal was.  The warrant resulted in the recovery of the LoJack- equipped stolen Suzuki with minor damage to the ignition. A suspect has been tentatively identified and is wanted for questioning for the stolen motorcycle. The recovered motorcycle was eventually returned to an extremely happy owner.

The LoJack®System was installed in the Suzuki Motorcycle in June 2010.
