The owners of a Land Rover Range Rover contacted the Markham Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their driveway overnight

Markham Police verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Land Rover.

A short while later a sergeant with the Ohio State Highway Patrol Vehicle Theft Unit picked up the silent LoJack® homing signals from the stolen Land Rover 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 sergeant tracked the vehicle to commercial business area in Cincinnati, Ohio where he found it unoccupied.

Surveillance was established for a short while.  The vehicle was impounded, and is to be further investigated by both the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Markham Police Department.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Land Rover Range Rover in August 2007.
