🚨 Update: Shelter-in-Place Lifted in Dover 🚨
The shelter-in-place warning for the Canal Rd and East Front Street area in Dover has been lifted. Police have confirmed the incident was the result of a false swatting call—a deliberate hoax meant to draw a large law enforcement response.
This reckless act wasted valuable time and resources from multiple agencies and put the community on edge for no reason. Swatting is a serious crime that diverts help away from real emergencies and endangers lives.
Police are investigating to find those responsible.
