Commercial Theft Ring Busted from the Air State: Texas Vehicle: John Deere backhoe A John Deere backhoe was secured at a work site at John Ralston & Beltway 8 for the weekend, and when the foreman arrived on Monday, the backhoe was missing. The Harris County Sheriff’s Department was notified and a theft report made. Harris County SD entered the John Deere’s VIN in the state and national crime computer. This action caused the LoJack transmitter hidden on the backhoe to begin transmitting a silent signal. Several hours later, Houston PD helicopter 72 FOX picked up the LoJack signal on their LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). After obtaining a complete description of the vehicle from the LoJack signal, 72 FOX called for ground units in the area to assist in the track. Houston PD ground patrol units using their PTC’s used the directional arrow and strength meter to track the backhoe to Luthe Road in North Harris County. After determining the location was in the unincorporated area of Harris County, Harris County S D deputies were called in, and the investigation was turned over to the Harris County Sheriff ‘s Department Auto Theft Unit and they were assisted by the Texas DPS Motor Vehicle Theft Service. A written consent to search the location was obtained, and numerous pieces of heavy equipment and trailers were identified as stolen. Several had the public VIN/PIN plates removed. The property owner was subsequently charged with 1st degree Felony Theft in Harris County. The total amount of property located and identified as stolen on that day was valued at $388,800.00. The property was mostly stolen in Houston/Harris County in the prior six months. The next day, as a result of the initial investigation, detectives with the Texas Motor Vehicle Theft Service accompanied members of the Harris County Auto Theft Task Force and conducted a consent search of an additional property located in northeast Houston. Recovery Highlight The total value of the property recovered in this case is over $424,000. This includes 11 trailers, 3 backhoes, 3 tractors, 2 motorcycles, 1 bulldozer, 1 generator, 1 skid steer loader, and 1 roller. This case investigation remains active and the identification of additional stolen property is likely.

Transatlantic Recovery February 14, 2008 U.S. Customs investigators based in Houston, Texas to secure and seize three pieces of construction equipment that were fraudulently rented in Gennevilliers, France. The equipment, valued at nearly $90,000, was recovered despite being hidden in containers buried deep in the hold of a cargo ship. LoJack Corporation and Traqueur worked closely with law enforcement and customs officials to track the stolen equipment as it traveled across Europe through France, Belgium, England and Germany, before being shipped overseas to ports in South Carolina, Florida and Texas.    About the Recovery On Tuesday, January 8, LoJack’s French licensee – Traqueur – was notified that one of the largest rental construction equipment companies in France – Kiloutou – had three pieces of equipment stolen by a customer who acted as a general manager of what turned out to be a fictitious construction company.   After learning that a Komatsu loader was equipped with LoJack, Traqueur immediately activated the system and contacted members of the LoJack Network throughout Europe.  One week later, British Law Enforcement in Tilbury Harbor, Liverpool, England, was able to track the silent LoJack signal to a cargo ship that was arriving from Anvers, Belgium.  After detecting that the LoJack signal originated from a suspected container deep in the ship’s hold and the final destination was routed to Galveston-Houston, officials determined the best course of action was to follow the ships’ travels.   French Customs coordinated with U.S. Customs to monitor the container.  With radio contact re-established with the Komatsu loader at every port of call, the ship was tracked in Charleston, South Carolina and Miami, Florida before landing in Houston, Texas.  On Friday, February 1, U.S. Customs unloaded and seized the Komatsu loader, a JCB excavator, and hydraulic hammer in addition to a skid steer stolen from another French company.  The investigation by both U.S. and French Customs is ongoing. Recovery Highlight Komatsu loader, a JCB excavator, and hydraulic hammer in addition to a skid steer
