This Honda Civic was stolen from the evidence impound lot of the Tulalip Tribal Police Department.

When the theft was discovered, the vehicle information was immediately entered into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Honda.

A few hours later, a Snohomish County Sheriff’s deputy picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda on the LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Following directional and audible cues from the PTC, the Honda was located in the 3100 block of Smokey Point Drive in the City of Arlington. One suspect in the Honda was taken into custody. The Arlington Police Department responded to handle the recovery.

The Honda did not appear to be damaged and was released to the Tulalip Tribal PD.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Honda Civic in October 2010 at Honda of Kirkland, Washington.
