Mobile phone blocker against the cell phone location
Mobile phones are relatively easy to locate. Since they have to log on to different radio cells again and again and each cell phone has its own identification number, a location can be relatively quickly. Of course, this can be done a bit faster with GPS and, above all, more accurately.

Such a GPS and cell phone jammer you get on the Internet for around 25 euros.
