The owner of a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen sometime during the night. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.
Immediately upon activation, a Miami Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen F-250 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen F-250 by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the F-250 abandoned in a vacant lot in the 100 block of Florida Street in the west Grove in Coral Gables jurisdiction. The Coral Gables Police Department responded to recover the stolen F-250 and continue the investigation. The pickup truck was recovered, released to the owner, who responded to the scene, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck in May 2006 by World Ford Kendall in Miami, Florida.
