Vermont Man Charged with Stalking After Secretly Tracking Woman with Apple AirTag

A Vermont man has been charged with stalking after he allegedly used an Apple AirTag to track a woman's movements without her consent.
A Vermont man has been charged with stalking after he allegedly used an Apple AirTag to track a woman's movements without her consent.

Alan Bjerke, 62, of Burlington, Vermont, is accused of placing the AirTag behind the license plate of the woman's car in an attempt to track her location.

Bjerke allegedly did this in order to lawfully take possession of the car as part of a debt payment.

However, police say that Bjerke did not have authorization or a warrant to track the woman's location.

The woman became aware of the AirTag when she received an alert on her phone from Apple's Find My app.

The app told her that an unknown AirTag was tracking her location.

The woman then contacted police, who were able to track down Bjerke and arrest him.

Bjerke has been charged with stalking and unlawful tracking.

He is due to appear in court in June.

This case is a reminder of the potential dangers of using tracking devices without consent.

AirTags are designed to be used to track lost items, but they can also be used to track people without their knowledge or consent.

If you find an AirTag that you don't recognize, do not touch it.

Instead, contact the police immediately.

The use of tracking devices to stalk or harass others is a serious crime.

If you are being stalked or harassed, please contact the police immediately.

You are not alone.
