LoJack of LOS ANGELES COUNTY: On 02-07-06, LAPD “Air 11 “ flight officers picked up a silent signal from the stolen 2005 Melroe S130 Bobcat on their on-board LOJACK tracking computer during routine patrol duties. The flight officers tracked the silent signal while requesting ground units to respond to the area of 5700 block of Buffalo Ave. The patrol officers pinpointed the location of the stolen Bobcat to a residential garage. Detectives from CECATS (Auto Task Force) responded to their location and set up surveillance at the location. “Air 11” advised the units that there was a Bobcat in the rear yard at a resident south of the location. The detectives conducted a follow up to both locations. After a consent search, the detectives recovered the LoJack equipped stolen Bobcat (valued at $25,000) from the garage. One suspect was taken into custody 487 (D) PC (GTA) without incident. The suspect admitted to the theft along with the theft of the second Bobcat (valued at $20,000) from the other location. Detectives then took an additional suspect into custody for 487 (D) PC (GTA). After interviewing the suspects, the detectives from CECATS located a stolen trailer and generator, which was cold plated and registered by an outstanding suspect, (valued at $100,000), a Ford F250 4x4 diesel truck (valued at $40,000), a Walton Flatbed trailer, which was cold plated, (valued at $20,000), two Honda Motorcycles (valued at $7,000) and over 100 City of Los Angeles street signs, traffic lights, (valued at $25,000), and numerous tools belong to the victim of the stolen generator.

Fresno Ave. The vehicle was found to be partially stripped of its interior. In addition, the factory installed satellite system had been disconnected.

He apparently admitted to at least twenty (20) other vehicle thefts that had been stripped at that location. The suspect was later booked for VC 10801 “Chop Shop” and had an additional $100,000 in outstanding warrants. BADCAT Detectives have classified this incident as a “Chop Shop”.
