The owner of a 2006 Toyota RAV-4 contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their home in the 800 block S. Milton Avenue in the Canton area of Baltimore City, Maryland.
Baltimore City Police Department verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the 2006 Toyota RAV-4.
A short while later officers from the Southeast District of the Baltimore City PD and flight officers in the Baltimore City Aviation Unit “Foxtrot” picked up the silent LoJack® homing signals from the stolen 2006 Toyota RAV-4 with the LoJack® Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles and helicopter. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers and flight officers tracked the vehicle to the 5600 block O’Donnell Street in Baltimore City. At that location, officers observed the vehicle parked and unoccupied. The vehicle was recovered by officers and towed to a location for safe keeping.
The LoJack®System was installed in the 2006 Toyota RAV-4 during August, 2011 at DARCARS Toyota in Baltimore, Maryland.
