The owner of a 2005 Isuzu NPR box truck discovered their truck missing. They contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report their Isuzu stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers, which automatically activates the LoJack® System concealed in the Isuzu.

 

Later that afternoon, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen NPR box truck on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), that are installed in law enforcement patrol vehicles, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The officer began tracking the stolen Isuzu by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the box truck abandoned near NW 85th Street Road and NW 4th Court. The truck was recovered, removed from state and federal crime information computer systems by the entering agency and towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping.

 

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2005 Isuzu NPR box truck in May 2008 via Commercial Sales in Miami, Florida.
