After an Indiana man was arrested and accused of using a tracking device to stalk and harass a woman, Pennsylvania State Police are offering the public some tips to keep themselves safe when this incident.
State Police Public Information Officer Trooper Cliff Greenfield said that this only marks the second-such incident of someone using an Airtag or similar device to trace someone’s movements illegally, but he feels there are several cases where it has happened nationally. He gives advice on what people should do if they notice that an Airtag is trying to connect to their cell phone.
After that, call 911 to report that someone is unlawfully tracking you, and you will be given direction on where to go from there, or they will send someone out to your location. Also, inform your family of what happened as well.
He also advises this be done only if that notification comes up for an extended period of time.
Placing an Airtag or similar device on someone’s vehicle or property without their knowledge or consent is illegal and will result in criminal prosecution for stalking and other related crimes.
