Last Tuesday night, a police officer assigned to the Irvine Spectrum was on a follow-up investigation at Target when she learned three people were about to leave the store with Apple AirTags they did not pay for, according to the Irvine Police Department.

Before leaving the store, the suspects removed the security sensors from the items.

The responding police officers found the three suspects quicker than you could locate your best friend on Apple’s “Find My” app.

During the investigation, additional stolen AirTags were located inside their vehicle. Officers believe the helpful tracking devices were taken from a nearby store in another City.

All three suspects were arrested and booked at Orange County Jail for burglary, false information to an officer, and organized retail theft.

    1. They are complying with a state law. As usual the legislators in Sacramento are more concerned with protecting the criminals than their victims.
