The
owners of a 2007 Honda CRV contacted the Baltimore City Police
Department to report that their vehicle was stolen during an armed carjacking from
3600 Hudson Street in the Canton area of Baltimore City, Maryland. Baltimore City Police
Radio dispatched an officer from the 2nd 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 2007 Honda CRV.
A short while later, officers from Baltimore City Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen 2007
Honda CRV 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
1200 N. Ellwood Avenue in Baltimore City, Maryland. At this location, officers observed
the vehicle parked and unoccupied. The undamaged vehicle was recovered by
police, towed for forensic processing and the owner notified.
Approximate value of vehicle: $7,150.00
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2007 Honda CRV in October 2006 at Norris Honda in Dundalk, Maryland.
