The NYPD is turning to a new piece of technology to help crack down on car thefts in the Bronx. Police are giving out free Apple AirTags to people living in Castle Hill, Soundview, and Parkchester. LisaRoznerTV reports.
At the Castle Hill Library, the mayor said the nonprofit the Association for a Better New York is funding the AirTags.
"There's a manufacturer's defect in both those autos, where it's a plastic cylinder that covers the car. You can remove that plastic cylinder with a hardware screwdriver and a USB port that would use your iPhone and would start that car up right away," Chell said. "The owner realizes car that there car is missing for whatever reason, they call us and we'll look at their phone and we'll use their phone to track the vehicle," Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said.
