The owners of a
2002 Ingersoll-Rand Skid Steer T-190 contacted
the Prince George’s County Police Department to
report that their skid steer was stolen from a construction site on 6300 Walker
Mill Road in the Capitol Heights area of Prince George’s County, Maryland. Officers were dispatched to the location and
upon arrival made contact with the owner, obtained the information on the skid
steer and searched the area without success for the unit. Prince
George’s County Police verified the theft and entered
the skid steer information into the state and federal crime computers, which
automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the 2002
Ingersoll-Rand Skid Steer T-190.
A short while later, detectives from the Washington Area Vehicle
Enforcement Unit picked up the silent LoJack signals
from the stolen 2002 Ingersoll-Rand Skid Steer T-190 with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are
installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues
from the PTC, the detectives tracked the skid steer to the area of 4100
Belt Road in the Capitol Heights area of Prince George’s County, Maryland. At that location, detectives observed the 2002
Ingersoll-Rand Skid Steer T-190 on a lot at the location. Detectives obtained a
search warrant for the location. Detectives recovered the stolen 2002 Ingersoll-Rand
Skid Steer T-190 and notified the owner. Investigation to continue.
Approximate value of vehicle: $ 21,000.00
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2002 Ingersoll-Rand Skid Steer T-190 in July 2008 at Commercial Sales in Prince George’s, Maryland.
