The owners of a 2017 Kawasaki Mule reported the theft of their Vehicle to Henry County Police. Henry County Police verified the theft and had the vehicle information entered into the state and federal crime computers.  This routine action automatically activated the  Silent LoJack® System concealed in the Mule.

Within minutes a Deputy with the Henry Co Sheriffs Office picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Mule with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from his PTC, the Officer tracked the vehicle to an area close to where the theft occurred. The vehicle had been pulled behind a residence. The residents were not cooperative with the Deputy and an Investigator was called to the scene. While at the residence the Deputy located a 2013 Toyota 4 Runner that was reported stolen out of North Carolina also behind the residence. Both vehicles were recovered and impounded. The investigation continues with several suspects identified at this time.    

The LoJack® System was installed in the Mule in June 2017 as a commercial install in Miami, Florida..
