A court hears that two British teenagers carried out a series of “swatting” calls in the United States, using false reports about bombs and shootings to prompt armed police to travel to the homes of high-profile YouTube influencers. The allegations describe the teenagers targeting well-known online figures while they were live-streaming on YouTube, suggesting the prank is linked to the timing and visibility of their broadcasts. Prosecutors say the teenagers used hoax information to draw law enforcement resources to specific locations, placing the intended targets and responders at risk. The reporting states that the calls were designed to appear credible enough to trigger an armed police response. The case is being considered in court, with details provided on how the calls were made and who they were intended to affect. The sources do not provide a confirmed outcome in the material provided, nor do they describe the precise identities of the influencers or the extent of any police action beyond the alleged response to the hoax claims.
