The owner of a 2006 Audi A6 4-door sedan discovered their car missing. They contacted the Miami-Dade 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.
Shortly thereafter, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade Police Department Robbery Interdiction Detail (R.I.D.) detective picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Audi A6 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The detective began tracking the stolen Audi by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The detective, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan in the 2400 block of N.W. 66th Street. Surveillance was established on the Audi. After several hours the Audi became occupied, whereupon the R.I.D. detectives converged upon the vehicle. The driver of the Audi was arrested for Grand Theft Auto. Two other subjects were arrested for various warrants that were issued for their arrest. The Audi was recovered, 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 2006 Audi A6 in May 2006 at Braman Audi in West Palm Beach, Florida.
