Wapello County says there’s been a huge spike in Apple AirTags being placed on cars to track the driver. AirTags are about the size of a nickel and use GPS to track their location.In a Facebook post, Wapello County Emergency Management Agency says that if you have kids who drive, have a conversation with them about the AirTags and check their vehicle with them.

The tags are normally placed under or inside the fender, bumper or wheel well.

Many times, people will get a notification on their iPhone about an AirTag detected near them.

If you locate one please contact your local law enforcement.
