<p>Police in Nashville were able to use an <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/airtags" title="AirTag" data-kpt="1">AirTag</a> to help track down a stolen vehicle.
</p>
<div>
<p>That continues to be the case in Nashville, Tennessee, as police were able to track down a suspected car thief thanks to an AirTag, as <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/31/nashville-police-use-airtag-to-track-down-stolen-car-drugs-and-more/">first covered</a> by <em>9to5Mac</em>. <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2023/08/30/police-track-down-alleged-car-thief-using-apple-airtag/">According to</a> <em>WSMV4</em>, the victim informed police their car had been stolen on August 3, but an AirTag was installed inside.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Metropolitan Nashville Police Department tracked the AirTag, which was tucked away inside a Dodge Charger Scat Pack. They corresponded with the Metropolitan Nashville Aviation Unit to follow the vehicle.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The Dodge Charger eventually stopped at a local barbershop, and the suspect, identified as Kevonta Brooks, went inside with a passenger. A police air unit passed along a description of Brooks, and law enforcement on the ground took him into custody.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Once taken into custody, it was discovered Brooks had a vehicle key FOB, a vehicle reprogramming device, and a screwdriver in a brown backpack. He had other items as well, including various paraphernalia.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Brooks remains in custody, with a $28,500 bond. He is facing several charges, including vehicle theft and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
