The owners of a 2010 Honda Accord contacted the Howard County Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the 9000 block Town and Country Blvd in the Ellicott City area of Howard County, Maryland. Howard County Police dispatched an officer to the location and the officer upon arrival obtained all the vehicle information and searched the area for the vehicle. After not locating the vehicle, a stolen vehicle report was completed. Howard County 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 2010 Honda Accord.
After a short period of time, officers from the Baltimore County Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signals from the stolen 2010 Honda Accord with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles and helicopters. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the vehicle to the unit block Emjay Court in the Woodlawn area of Baltimore County, Maryland. At this location, officers observed the vehicle parked and unoccupied. The undamaged vehicle was recovered and the owner notified.
Approximate value of vehicle: $ 8,025.00
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2010 Honda Accord during August, 2010 at Jim Coleman Honda in Clarksville, Maryland.
