The owner of a 2011 Subaru Outback contacted the Baltimore County Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the 100 block Beaumont Avenue in the Catonsville area of Baltimore County.   Baltimore County PD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the 2011 Subaru Outback.

A short while later detectives in the Regional Auto Theft Team picked up the silent LoJack signals from the stolen 2011 Subaru Outback with the LoJack  Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the vehicle to the 500 block Airy Hill Avenue in Baltimore. At that location, officers observed the vehicle parked and unoccupied. Surveillance conducted by the detectives on the vehicle resulted in the arrest of one suspect when he/she returned to the vehicle and attempted to leave the area.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2011 Subaru Outback during October, 2010 at Russell Subaru in Baltimore, Maryland.
