The owners of a 2017 Ford Fusion contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen.  The owners had parked their Ford in the driveway of their residence in the 4600 block of Terra Rosa Dr.  They believe they may have left the Ford unlocked and they left a spare key in the center console.  When they went to use the Ford the next day they found it missing.

A police officer verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Ford.

A short while later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC the officers tracked the Ford to the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 6100 block of West Oakey.  The Ford was unoccupied and unharmed.  The Ford was then recovered and returned to the owners.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford Fusion in November 2016 at Team Ford in Las Vegas, Nevada.
