Cars being stolen using Apple AirTags, police alerted people

People can track their important belongings such as luggage, keys, and other stuff with Apple AirTags. Many people keep it in their wallet so that it may be discovered if the wallet is misplaced using Apple’s Find My app, however Apple AirTags are currently in the news for another reason. The York Regional Police Auto/Cargo Department in Canada has issued a warning concerning car thefts involving Apple AirTags. In reality, burglars have devised a new method of stealing high-end vehicles that involves the use of Apple AirTags.

Five occurrences had been reported in the York area, according to the notification, which was issued earlier this month. In order to take the car, the suspects had planted a small tracking device on it. When vehicles are parked in public places, malls, or parking lots, thieves attach ‘AirTags’ to them. The automobiles are then tracked to the owner’s home, where they are occasionally stolen.

The investigation claims that burglars used equipment such as screwdrivers to open the automobile door. Thieves use an electrical gadget once inside the vehicle. Reprogramming this gadget to factory settings is normally done by mechanics. This device is used by thieves to start the vehicle and steal it.

Although York Regional Police profess to be on the lookout for car thefts, criminals continue to innovate. The police have also provided steps to avoid car theft using Apple AirTag in their notification. The public has been urged to store their vehicles in the garage. Locking the steering wheel, installing an alert system in the automobile, and installing a security camera have also been recommended. The police have also stated that they use the vehicle on a regular basis. If you notice a tracking device in it, contact the authorities.

The Canadian Police Service is currently concerned about a new method of car theft. It’s now up to her to test how much control she has and whether she can reach the ruthless thieves.
