The owners of a 2005 Dodge Viper contacted the Prince George’s County Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their home in the 5900 block Plata Street in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County, Maryland.

The Prince George’s 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 Dodge Viper.

A short while later detectives from the Washington Area Vehicle Enforcement picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Dodge Viper with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the detectives tracked the Dodge Viper to the 12500 block Lytton Avenue in the Brandywine area of Prince George’s County. At that location, detectives observed the Dodge Viper parked and unoccupied. Surveillance of the Dodge Viper by detectives resulted in the arrest of the theft suspect.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2005 Dodge Viper during June 2005 by Westbury Jeep/Eagle in New York.
