The owner of a 2008 Jeep Wrangler contacted the Chula Vista Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen in the city of Chula Vista.
The Chula Vista PD 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.
Within 12 minutes, deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Jeep with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the deputies tracked the Jeep to the 3000 block of Rondevoo Road in Lemon Grove. A traffic stop was conducted and two suspects were taken into custody for vehicle theft and possession of stolen property.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Jeep Wrangler in April 2008 at Huntington Beach Jeep in California.
