Apple AirTags are coming under increased scrutiny after people across the country have said they facilitated as car theft or stalking, leading to Apple facing a class-action suit.
Correspondent Alexis McAdams joins 'America Reports' with the latest on the 'growing and dangerous trend.'
Dearborn is among the slew of police departments that have warned the public since last year to be on high alert for criminals using Apple AirTags to steal or illegally follow people. Last December, a handful of Nashville women sounded the alarm that they were being followed by suspected criminals based on unknown devices being placed in cars.
"I went outside to check it out because I saw this on TikTok that this is a thing criminals are doing for robbery or sex trafficking. When I went outside to go look for the tag there was two men in hoodies standing by my car waiting, and the second they saw me open the door with three men they turned around and sprinted down the street," Tindall said.
One man in Michigan had just purchased a Dodge muscle car last December when he took it out for a spin to run errands at a shopping center and hang out at a friend’s house. "These little things are being used to mark a vehicle. What thieves are doing is that they’re walking around, ‘shopping’ outside in parking lots, and when they find a car that they like, they stick these to the car or place them on the car somehow," Toronto constable Marco Ricciardi told City News this summer. A Cincinnati police officer was sentenced to probation this fall after he pleaded guilty to stalking a woman.
