The owner of a 2015 Lexus RC 350 2-door coupe discovered their car missing. They contacted the Doral Police Department to report their vehicle stolen. 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.
The next morning, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen RC 350 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC) while on the Florida Turnpike and S.W. 112th Avenue. The officer immediately exited the turnpike and began tracking the stolen RC 350 by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the 2-door coupe abandoned in a 2-story townhouse complex near S.W. 234th Street and S.W. 113th Court. The 2-door coupe was recovered in good condition, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2015 Lexus RC 350 in November 2015 at Lexus of North Miami in Florida.
