The owners of a 2016 Dodge Ram truck contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen.  Miami-Dade Officers verified the theft and had the vehicle information entered into the state and federal crime computers.  This routine action automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Dodge Ram.

Twenty four minutes later officers from the Opa-Locka Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signals from the stolen Dodge with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from their PTCs, the officers tracked the vehicle to the 2400 block of west 76th street and recovered the vehicle with no damage.

After crime scene processing the Dodge was released to the owner.  The LoJack® System was installed in the Dodge Ram in May 2016 at Dadeland Dodge in Miami, Florida.
