Saskatchewan Police Warn Drivers of Covert GPS Trackers Found on Cars
Saskatoon police have charged a 46-year-old man after GPS tracking devices were discovered hidden on a vehicle.
Police told The Epoch Times that 10 victims have been identified so far, while investigators believe there may be more devices planted and not yet found. Police have asked the public to report any tracking devices found hidden on vehicles.
Marty Schira of Saskatoon is facing at least 36 charges, including two counts of harassment, two counts of intimidation, two counts of mischief, and one count of fraudulent concealment. Police said further charges are expected.
Police were able to identify the suspect, and find an address. A search warrant was executed at Schira’s apartment in Saskatoon, where officers found more tracking devices, according to police.
Police have not released a motive in the case.
Police say they have found a total of six tracking devices, which were typically wrapped in black tape, and placed inside the fender.
Police are asking anyone who finds a tracker on their vehicle not to remove or tamper with it. Instead, they advise that the vehicle and GPS device be brought to SPS headquarters and a report filed.
