October 7, 2025, Cambridge, Nova Scotia… Kings District RCMP determined that two emergency calls were incidents of “swatting” and not associated to real emergency situations.

On October 4 at approximately 7:10 p.m., Kings District RCMP responded to a report of gunshots from a residence in Cambridge. The officers who attended determined that the call was false.

Later that day at approximately 8:20 p.m., Kings District RCMP received a request from fire services to attend a report of an illegal burn at same residence as the earlier false report of gunshots. Officers attended with firefighters and quickly determined this to also be a false report.

False reports of emergencies are often referred to as “swatting.” These types of calls are not pranks; they are criminal acts with potential legal consequences that tie up resources and can create risk in the community.

These false reports are under investigation.
