The owners of a 2015 Honda Accord contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their home in the 6200 block Walther Avenue in the Hamilton neighborhood of Baltimore City, Maryland.
The Baltimore City 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 Honda Accord.
A short while later officers from the Baltimore City PD Aviation unit “Foxtrot,” picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda Accord with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles and helicopters. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Honda to the 3700 block Elmley Avenue in Baltimore City, Maryland. At that location, officers observed the Honda parked and unoccupied. Officers recovered the Honda and notified the owner.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2015 Honda Accord in January 2015 at Northwest Honda in Owings Mills, Maryland.
