A college student got her stolen bicycle back thanks to an AirTag, California police said.

On Sept 15, a college student’s bike was stolen from the side of her house, according to a Facebook post by the Orange Police Department.

She had hidden an AirTag on the bike, and with her help, police were able to locate the missing bike, officers said.

When police found the bike, they arrested the suspect, who also had a meth pipe, police said.

The man, who police didn’t identify, was booked into the Orange County Jail, officials said.

The bike was returned to the student, officers said.

Orange is about a 30-mile drive southeast of downtown Los Angeles. – The Charlotte Observer/Tribune News Service
