This Dodge Neon was stolen sometime during a twenty-four hour period from the 3000 block of Wetmore in Everett.  When the theft was discovered, it was reported to the Everett Police Department.  The report was verified and they entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Dodge.

Within nine minutes of the LoJack activation,  the Everett PD officers and Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office deputies picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Dodge on the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, they tracked it to a casino parking lot on 4th Avenue West in Everett.  Four people inside the Dodge were detained for questioning and one was arrested on a felony warrant.  Additional charges are pending.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Dodge Neon in January of 2004 at Lynnwood Dodge in Washington.
