The owner of this Mercedes Benz GLK350 received an Early Warning alert from LoJack advising him his vehicle was moving. Early Warning is a LoJack feature that notifies the owner when a vehicle moves without the presence of the LoJack Key Pass. The Mercedes was last seen the prior evening when he parked it at an apartment complex located in the 13900 block of NE 8th Street in Bellevue.
The theft was reported to the Bellevue Police Department who verified the report and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Mercedes.
That same afternoon, the Seattle Police Department officers, equipped with a LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Mercedes. Following directional and audible cues from the PTC, the Mercedes was located at 5th Avenue NE & NE 95th Street. It was abandoned and did not appear to be damaged.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Mercedes Benz GLK350 in April 2015 at Mercedes Benz of Bellvue.
