Stolen Porsche 911 Recovered in Record Time Thanks to LoJack Law Enforcement App  

A stolen Porsche 911 was recovered within hours in Newark, New Jersey, thanks to the power of real-time GPS tracking and seamless coordination between law enforcement agencies. At the center of this rapid recovery was the LoJack Law Enforcement App, a vital, no-cost tool in the fight against organized auto theft. 

A High-End Target Goes Missing 

In the early morning hours of June 8, the owner of a Porsche 911 discovered the vehicle had been stolen overnight. The theft was immediately reported to the City of Newark Police Department, which entered the vehicle’s information into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). This action triggered a regional alert, notifying surrounding agencies. 

Real-Time Location Data Speeds Up Officer Response 

In addition to notifying police, the vehicle owner contacted LoJack, whose factory-integrated GPS system was already active on the vehicle. Using the LoJack Law Enforcement App, detectives from the New Jersey State Police Auto Theft Task Force (ATTF) accessed real-time location data within minutes. 

The vehicle’s signal led detectives to the Port of Newark and Elizabeth, a known hotspot for stolen vehicles being prepared for overseas shipment. 

Container Discovery and Vehicle Verification 

Upon arriving at the port, detectives located the stolen Porsche inside a sealed shipping container, appearing to be prepped for illegal export. Using the vehicle’s key fob, which had been provided by the owner, investigators remotely activated the car’s horn—confirming its presence in the specific container. 

With assistance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the container was opened. Inside was the Porsche 911, fully intact and undamaged. 

Powerful Technology, Working Seamlessly with Law Enforcement Agencies 

This successful recovery illustrates the value of real-time GPS tracking and cross-agency collaboration. The LoJack Law Enforcement App enabled:     

  • Immediate access to precise location data 
  • Efficient interagency coordination 
  • Quick verification and recovery of a high-value vehicle   

With auto theft rings increasingly targeting high-end vehicles for export, tools like LoJack & LoJack LE have become essential in recovering stolen property before it disappears for good.
