Back to EpisodesRaleigh Police Investigate Swatting Hoaxes
Description
Raleigh police are investigating two consecutive hoax emergency calls from Tuesday night, which resulted in SWAT teams being dispatched to homes thirteen miles apart for fabricated crimes. The first call, reported at 8:16 PM, led officers to a house on Neiman Cove near Alder Pass, where the owner confirmed no incident had taken place. These pranks, classified as class two misdemeanors in North Carolina, can lead to up to sixty days in jail and escalate to class H felonies if children are involved. The police are actively working to identify those responsible, as these false alarms tie up resources needed for genuine emergencies.
