The owner of an Acura TL contacted the Dallas Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen. The owner looked out the front door and noticed that his Acura was missing from the driveway.
The Dallas 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 Acura. Eight minutes later, officers from the Dallas PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Acura with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the stolen Acura to the 4000 block of Malcolm X Blvd, where they found it parked behind a convenience store. A suspect was inside the stolen Acura and when he saw the officers, he fled on foot. He was apprehended and was found to be in possession of a handgun. He admitted to the officers that he knew the Acura was stolen.
The Acura was recovered in good condition.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Acura TL in February of 2004 at Acura of Las Vegas, Nevada.
