The owner of a 2007 Ford Mustang contacted Nassau County Police Department to report their vehicle was stolen while parked at the Long Island Railroad parking lot in Hicksville, Long Island.
The Nassau 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 Ford.
A short while later, officers assigned to the Nassau County PD’s 7th precinct, picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Mustang 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 officers tracked and located the unoccupied Ford parked on a residential driveway on the 2000 block of Washington St., in Seaford, Long Island, in the confines of Nassau County’s 7th precinct. Surveillance was setup for a short time and eventually Nassau County Auto Squad interviewed the owner of the property, resulting in the arrest of one individual. The undamaged Ford was impounded as arrest evidence and later returned to the owner.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford Mustang in September 2006 at McDaniel Ford in Hicksville, New York.
