Several stolen Soundboks speakers have been recovered at the Roskilde Festival thanks to AirTags, according to Mid- and West Zealand Police. These small tracking devices, attached to objects, proved instrumental in locating the missing items.

On Sunday, a 22-year-old man reported his Soundboks stolen. Using the AirTag, he tracked it to an address in Hørve, approximately 50 kilometers from the festival grounds. Upon arriving at the location, he encountered a group of 30 to 40 people from Romania who possessed multiple Soundboks speakers. He then alerted the police.

Responding to the call, police discovered six stolen Soundboks at the address. These were seized as lost property due to the inability to identify the thieves immediately. At a nearby location, authorities found two additional stolen Soundboks, leading to the arrest of a 38-year-old woman charged with theft. The 22-year-old man was able to recover his Soundboks from the police station.

In a separate incident, a 26-year-old man from Aarhus reported a rented Soundboks stolen. He also used an AirTag to track the speaker to an address outside Roskilde and contacted the police. Together, they went to the location, and upon opening the door, the 26-year-old activated the AirTag’s sound, which could be heard inside the apartment. A search of the apartment revealed the stolen Soundboks, and a 16-year-old was charged with theft.

Police have apprehended several individuals suspected of involvement in thefts at the festival. A 26-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man, both from Romania, were arrested on Saturday after being found with a stolen Soundboks and other stolen items, including a camera bag, AirPods headphones, and a megaphone. They have been remanded in custody until July 31. Additionally, an 18-year-old from Romania was charged with the theft of a Soundboks on Sunday night. He was also found with various travel and ID cards that did not belong to him, fined and expelled from Denmark with a two-year entry ban.
