The owners of a 2014 Kenworth T-300 contacted the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to report that their vehicle was stolen in the unincorporated area of Jurupa Valley.

The Riverside County SD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Kenworth.

Within 7 minutes of the activation, deputies from the Riverside County SD and Riverside County Auto Theft Interdiction Detail (RAID) picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Kenworth T-300 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 deputies and investigators tracked the Kenworth to a rural area near Decker and Perry in the city of Perris.
