LoJack® System Helps Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Recover Stolen Mercedes C230

The owner of a 2005 Mercedes C230 contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that her vehicle was stolen.   The owner had started the Mercedes and realized that she had left something in her house.  She then left the Mercedes running and went inside to retrieve the forgotten item.  When she returned she found her Mercedes missing.

A police officer verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Mercedes.

A short while later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Mercedes with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Mercedes to the 4300 block of Bruce St where it was located unoccupied and undamaged.  The Mercedes was then released back to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Mercedes C230 in October 2009 at Carmax in Henderson, Nevada.
