The owners of a 2015 Audi Q5 contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen a dealership in the 600 block of North Decatur.  The suspects had purchased the Audi by means of fraud and when the owners discovered the fraud they contacted the police to report it as stolen.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Audi.

A short while later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department as well as troopers from he Nevada Highway Patrol picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Audi 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 officers and troopers tracked the vehicle to an apartment complex in the 2700 block of Juniper Hills where the Troopers were able to locate the Audi parked unoccupied and unharmed.  The Audi was recovered and towed for safekeeping to be returned back to the dealership.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Audi Q5 in April of 2018 at Friendly Ford, Las Vegas, Nevada.
