A “swatting” incident led to police closing a Greenwich street for more than an hour on Monday.
Dispatchers received two calls around 6 p.m. with false reported about a violent domestic incident with hostages being taken at River Landing Condominiums.
The first call lacked some credibility, but officers were sent to investigate, police said.
River Road was closed between East Putnam Avenue and Robertson Lane during the investigation and police believe the reports were a hoax. Where the call was made from is not clear.
The Greenwich Police Department is investigating and trying to identify the people responsible.
