GPS trackers were found under three cars. They were attached by powerful magnets behind the rear bumpers on the driver's side. Each one contained a battery pack made of four lithium D cell batteries, a GPS antenna, a cellular antenna and a main component box. The component box contained a GPS receiver, a computer chip and a cellular modem. All the components were wired together. The trackers were probably installed by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation).
