Though no one was harmed, the swatting calls disrupted emergency services and raised serious concerns.
Police have identified a youth linked to a string of swatting incidents in Haldimand County earlier this month.
Investigators say the under-18 suspect was coerced into participating by an online group known as “764” or “The Com.”
The group uses threats, swatting, and doxing to target vulnerable teens in search of recognition, not money.
No one was harmed, but the hoax calls tied up emergency resources and caused widespread concern.
