SHREVEPORT, La. - They are small, inexpensive, and designed to help you find lost keys, luggage, or even pets. But Apple AirTags are also showing up in police reports for the wrong reasons.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department in Florida recently investigated a case where a couple was followed home and robbed. The office posted security video from the victim’s home on their Facebook Page. Officers say they found an AirTag taped underneath the couple’s car and believe the suspects planted it to track their location. Similar cases have been reported across the country involving ex-partners, spouses, or thieves who use the devices to follow victims.
Apple says misuse is rare, but hundreds of police reports across the country show how easy it can be for these devices to be abused. Th
