Technology Solving Crime: “$29 AirTag helps Cary family, police locate stolen car within minutes”
It is amazing how quickly the AirTag allowed the police to recover this car.
. . . “We woke up, and I looked outside and I asked my wife, ‘Hey, do you know your car’s no longer in the driveway?’” Antar Muhammad said.
Leslie Muhammad’s car bore an AirTag, an Apple tracking device, and her husband was able to see where it was using an app on his phone.
“I’m able to pinpoint exactly where it’s at and actually to zoom in and almost precisely pick out the parking space the car was in,” he said.
The Muhammads use AirTags on both their vehicles, on luggage and backpacks. . . .
When police arrived, he was able to show them the car’s location.
“It had moved, and then all of a sudden it stopped moving,” Antar Muhammad said.
The responding officers, from Cary, called their counterparts in Durham, who told WRAL News that officers located the Camry just before 11 a.m. on Saturday and took three underage suspects into custody. . . .
