Cops raced to Miley Cyrus' L.A. home tonight after receiving a report about a possible home invasion, but when they arrived to Miley's home, it turned out to be a fake alarm and all signs point to a troubling prank famous as "Swatting."
Law enforcement sources confirm that the LAPD received a 911 call at 6:50 PM to report a possible home invasion, possible shots fired.
The LAPD responded immediately. In detail, guns drawn but the house was quiet, because no one was home and there was not any sign of a crime. Cops revealed it was a false alarm.
According to law enforcement, officials now believe the caller is a "911 abuser."
The call appears to fall in line with a prank called "Swatting" in which a caller attempts to trick emergency responders into dispatching law enforcement (like the SWAT team) to a home by making up a serious crime.
Cops claim that if the call was indeed a prank, which it seems to be, the caller will be arrested and face serious criminal charges. To be more exact, if someone were to be hurt or killed due to the prank, the caller could even face felony charges.
