The owner of a 2010 Toyota Camry contacted the Lauderhill 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, which automatically activates the LoJack® System concealed in the Toyota.

 

Immediately upon activation, while on routine patrol, a Plantation Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Camry on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), that are installed in law enforcement patrol vehicles, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The officer began tracking the stolen Toyota by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan abandoned, parked in an apartment complex parking lot near NW 63rd Avenue and NW 11th Street. Simultaneously the Sunrise Police Department was tracking the Toyota as well. The Toyota was recovered by the Sunrise PD since it was in Sunrise’s jurisdiction, removed from state and federal crime information computer systems by the entering agency and towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping.

 

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2010 Toyota Camry in October 2009 at Lipton Toyota in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
