You may have seen a large police response Thursday afternoon in Suffern, turned out, after nearly three hours of tense moments, it was all a hoax, what’s known as a “swatting” incident. The Suffern Police Department says it all went down in the Memorial Drive and Wayne Avenue area around 2:25 Thursday. A man called the police and claimed he was in a house on Lexington Avenue and that he had shot his brother. He said he would shoot any police officers who came to the scene. Suffern police officers responded with Ramapo Police and the Rockland Sheriff’s Department, and made contact with two people in the house. They came out and said they didn’t make the call and knew nothing of any shooting. The Rockland SWAT Team went in and didn’t find anything suspicious. Suffern police stress there is no danger, and false reports to emergency services are both a federal and state crime and can result in prison sentences. The incident is being investigated by Suffern P-D’s detective bureau. A similar “swatting” incident just occurred Wednesday in Westchester, when a man told police he shot two people in Dobbs Ferry and was going to hurt himself. A suspect has been arrested in that case.
