A 16-year-old male from Ottawa, Canada has been arrested for allegedly making at least 30 fraudulent calls to emergency services across North America over the past few months. The false alarms involved calling in phony bomb threats and multiple attempts at swatting a hoax in which the perpetrator spoofs a call about a violent crime in progress in hopes of tricking police into responding at a particular address with deadly force. According to the FBI, each swatting incident costs emergency responders approximately $10,000.”]
