Abstract
A surveillance tag (10) is provided that has a body (12) defining an inner cavity (16) with one or more marker (18,52) and one or more detent (30) housed inside the cavity (16). The tag (10) includes a latch (20) that is pivotally attached to the body (12) and that defines one or more locking formations (26) that is spaced from its pivotal attachment to the body (12). The latch (20) is configured to pivot between a dosed orientation in which it's locking formation (26) is proximate the body (12) and an open condition in which the locking formation (26) is free from the body (12). The detent (30) is configured to engage the locking formation (26) of the latch (20) when the latch (20) is in its closed orientation and can be released by being attracting it with a magnetic force towards a detacher outside the body (12).
