The owners of a 2018 Honda Odyssey called the Millburn Police Department to report that their vehicle had been carjacked.  The vehicle was in a parking lot running with the owner’s twelve year old daughter in the car. A male suspect entered the vehicle and told the girl to get out or she would get hurt. The girl got out of the vehicle and the man drove away.

The Millburn 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 2018 Honda Odyssey.

A short while later, detectives from the Millburn Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal coming from the stolen Honda with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their detective vehicles.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the detectives tracked the vehicle to the parking lot of St. Barnabas Hospital on Old Short Hills Road in Livingston. The vehicle was recovered undamaged. Detectives have obtained surveillance photographs of the suspect and the investigation is continuing.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2018 Honda Odyssey in November of 2017 at Madison Honda in Madison, N.J.
