Title: AirTag Hidden in Stuffed Animal Nabs Bar Thief Post by: HCK on July 31, 2023, 04:05:06 pm AirTag Hidden in Stuffed Animal Nabs Bar Thief
In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a thief was hitting a string of bars and restaurants, breaking into safes and stealing cash. One of the bars impacted was the Sneaky Beagle, and the location was burgled several times, leading the staff to set up a sting that involved an AirTag.

The thief, who turned out to be a 52-year-old man, took the bait and stole the safe. Police officers were able to track the AirTag to the thief's home, and he was able to be connected to multiple burglaries in the area. He was arrested and charged with nine counts of second-degree burglary.<div class="linkback">Tag: AirTags (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/airtags/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: AirTags (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/airtags.232)</div> This article, "AirTag Hidden in Stuffed Animal Nabs Bar Thief (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/07/27/airtag-hidden-in-stuffed-animal-nabs-bar-thief/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/airtag-hidden-in-stuffed-animal-nabs-bar-thief.2397085/) in our forums Source: AirTag Hidden in Stuffed Animal Nabs Bar Thief (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/07/27/airtag-hidden-in-stuffed-animal-nabs-bar-thief/) |
