The owners of a 2015 Jeep Wrangler contacted the Downey Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen by unknown suspects. Officers verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Jeep Wrangler.

A short while later officers from the Bell Gardens Police Department were notified by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Air-7 flight deputies that they picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Jeep Wrangler with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, Air-7 related that they had tracked the Jeep to Eastern Ave and Jabuneria Rd.  As the officers pulled up to that location, they observed the suspect exiting the driver’s door.  The suspect was taken into custody without further incident. The suspect was arrested and later booked for driving a motor vehicle without owner’s consent, a felony.  The undamaged Jeep Wrangler was later released to the victim.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Jeep Wrangler in May 2015 at Champion Dodge in Downey, California.
