On Monday morning, the operator of a 2006 John Deere 310-G combination loader/backhoe contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report that their piece of construction equipment was stolen sometime between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning.

The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the equipment’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.

Immediately upon activation, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen 310-G backhoe on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC).  The officer began tracking the stolen equipment by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the backhoe parked at a house under construction in the 12200 block of S.W. 219th Street. The combination loader/backhoe was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.
