The
owners of a Hummer HU-2 contacted the Murrieta Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen
in the city of Murrieta. Murrieta 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 Hummer.
A short time later, deputies from Riverside County Sheriff’s Department picked up the
silent LoJack signal from the stolen Hummer 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 vehicle to a Casino located in the
23000 block of Soboba Road in the city of San Jacinto.
One
suspect was taken into custody for vehicle theft and possession of stolen
property.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Hummer HU-2 in May 2004 at Weseloh
Chevrolet, Carlsbad, California.
