A Southern California woman, frustrated by repeated mail thefts from her post office box at the Los Alamos Post Office, used an Apple AirTag to track and help authorities arrest the suspected thieves. The woman mailed herself a package containing the AirTag, which was again stolen, allowing deputies to follow the tracking device to an address in Santa Maria. Two suspects, Virginia Franchessca Lara, 27, and Donald Ashton Terry, 37, were apprehended with the stolen package and other items believed to be from over a dozen victims. Both suspects face multiple charges, including possession of fraudulent checks, identity theft, and conspiracy, with Terry also facing additional burglary charges and warrants from Riverside County. The Sheriff's Office commended the victim for her proactive yet cautious approach in involving law enforcement. The case remains under investigation as detectives work to contact additional victims.
