Grapevine Police are investigating a report of a woman possibly being tracked by an AirTag.
In historic downtown Grapevine, it may not a crime you'd expect to hear about, but police say they are investigating an incident involving an Apple AirTag.
"A woman who was driving her car and got a notification on her iPhone that there was an Apple AirTag following her or with her,” Grapevine Police spokeswoman Amanda McNew said. “She did the right thing and she immediately called police to look at what was going on with that case.""That's how people are identifying women that are vulnerable or on their own and that's how they are pulling their victims, unfortunately," Grapevine visitor Charlotte Shakal said.
On their website, Apple says AirTags are designed to discourage unwanted tracking and will send an alert if one is traveling with you."My boyfriend’s keys have them so anytime I take his car it will be like it will tell me hey there is an air tag following you,” Shakal said. “So, it's nice Apple has something to kind of alert you about it.""Go to police,” McNew said. “If you see something like this happen the best thing you can do is drive to a police station department.
On their website, the company said misuse of AirTags is rare, but they have used the unique serial numbers associated with the devices to help law enforcement identify and charge suspects.
