The owner of a 2017 Nissan Sentra contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the area of 100 E. 31st Street in the Waverly area of Baltimore City, Maryland. Baltimore City Police Radio dispatched an officer from the 5th District to investigate the incident. The officer quickly arrived on location, interviewed the complainant and surveyed the area for the subject vehicle. When the officer was unable to locate the vehicle, a stolen vehicle report was prepared. The officer then arranged for the stolen vehicle information to be entered into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the 2017 Nissan Sentra.

A short while later, officers from Baltimore County Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen 2017 Nissan Sentra 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 tracked the vehicle to the unit block Stenerson Lane in the Cockeysville area of Baltimore County, Maryland. At this location, officers observed the vehicle parked and unoccupied. The undamaged vehicle was recovered by police and the owner notified.

Approximate value of vehicle: $13,600.00

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2017 Nissan Sentra in November, 2016 at Nationwide Nissan in Timonium, Maryland.
