Apple AirTag with key FOB<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/div>\n

Police in Nashville were able to use an AirTag<\/a> to help track down a stolen vehicle.\n<\/p>\n

\n

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 first covered<\/a> by 9to5Mac<\/em>. According to<\/a> WSMV4<\/em>, the victim informed police their car had been stolen on August 3, but an AirTag was installed inside.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brooks remains in custody, with a $28,500 bond. He is facing several charges, including vehicle theft and unauthorized use of a vehicle.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
