Lo Jack leads to car recovery

The signal from a LoJack anti-theft device led police to recover a

vehicle stolen from Huntington Beach near the Westminster Mall on

Saturday, police said.

Huntington Beach police helicopters picked up the signal near

Warner Avenue and Springdale Street at 9:56 p.m. and called in

neighboring police units from Westminster to aid in the pursuit,

police said.

The car, a green 1998 Honda Civic, was eventually stopped by

police near the mall and all three occupants, two juveniles and

Carlos Moreno, 18, of Westminster, were arrested on suspicion of auto

theft and possession of stolen property.

LoJack is a private security system company that installs tracking

devices in cars. When a vehicle is stolen, police can activate the

system and local law enforcement can pick up the signal, which can

ultimately lead them to the stolen vehicle.
