The owners of a Honda CRV contacted the Greenwood Village Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen.

A police officer verified the theft and had the vehicle information entered into the state and federal crime computers.  This routine action on the part of law enforcement automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Honda.

Less than an hour later officers with the Denver Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal coming from the stolen Honda with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTCs, these officers tracked the Honda to the 1400 block of North Mariposa Street.  The Honda was unoccupied and was towed for safe-keeping to be returned to the owners.

Follow up investigation by the Greenwood Village PD detective has disclosed a potential suspect in this case.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Honda CRV in 1997 at Brandfon Honda in Branford, Connecticut, at the request of a previous owner of the CRV.
