The
owner of a 2016 Dodge Challenger contacted the Riverside Police
Department to report that their
vehicle had been stolen in the city of Riverside. Riverside 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 Dodge.
A short while later an officer from Riverside Police Department
picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Dodge 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 officer tracked the vehicle to the100 block
of East Alessandro Blvd. in the city of Riverside. The vehicle was recovered
parked and unoccupied at that location.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Dodge Challenger in September of 2016 at Rydell Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge Ram, San Fernando, California.
