Toms River: In the area of 46 Mapletree Road for a heavy police presence. Multiple post cars and ambulances on scene for an unknown incident at a residence. Mapletree Road is closed in the area, and police reportedly have weapons drawn.
This is a developing story, which we have nothing further currently due to excessive encryption.

Lisa Nuernberg dude I live on avrum. We watched the cops and stuff from the living room window. No idea what was going on. Didn’t hear or see anything else. Crazy. They left after like 10 mins. If that.
That’s my street lol
Amber Sutton Be careful going out.
Angela Gillison thank you
Kelly Daletto
Fiorino Butch Dicenso
Eileen Rohena
Where is Maple Tree Rd ?
Off freehold road near high school north.
Ahhhhh ok .. Thank You
This does not look good. When roads are blocked like this with police and ambulances there is some violent crime that has occurred.
My Ring Neighborhood alert just showed cops with sniper rifles. What’s going on?
Maria Marino Christopher Marino
I live around the corner. I heard they arrested someone
Kimberly Dudek Farina is this by the baseball fields or going in the opposite direction towards 9? I’m right in the area and feel like TRPD should have sent a Nixle text alert, especially for local residents! I have 2 small children!
Shannon Waldron it is closer to 166 I saw absolutely nothing going on.
Shannon Waldron it’s already done.
Dianna Marino thank you. I put it into my map and it’s veeeeeerrrrry close to my house. Didn’t hear a siren. Freaks me out that there were snipers out and seems like no one knew.
Shannon Waldron literally my ring doorbell. We’re not home. Had to text a neighbor to see what was happening!
Shannon Waldron maybe they had to act fast. And a nixie alert had to be set aside.
Dianna Marino OMG I would have freaked if I got an alert and there was an officer posted up at my door.
Scott A Barnes understandable, but the officers on the call aren’t the ones responsible for putting out the alert.
Shannon Waldron uh yes.
Shannon Waldron I didn’t hear anything either. I’m on Avrum my neighbor said she walked to the corner and said she saw them arresting some one.
Shannon Waldron so you want the police to send out an alert that they are sending out snipers to alert you and the potential suspect? Kind of defeats the purpose when the potential suspect gets an alert that someone may be coming for him. Would probably escalate the situation.

Paula Brita Johnstone..
Victoria Lynn Ernest thanks Vick currently in bayville
Paula Brita Johnstone that’s good! no idea what is going on but if I find out I will let you know!?
Thanks for all the updates … Sorry, but I believe encryption smacks of secret policing. There are plenty of frequencies that can be used, let’s say, in incognito, if need be.
Jay Mann
Leave Dispatch in the clear, and encrypt everything else for safety. That’s all we ask!
Ocean County Scanner News or only use part time encryption when there’s a safety concern for the officers
Ryan Anthony
Even that’s a fair compromise!
Ocean County Scanner News it can be activated or deactivated with the push of a button, it’s really that simple on their end
in leh can’t even monitor ems or fire so much for transparency
Ems n fire in LEH are not encrypted they are Dispatched by OC Sheriffs Dept. and have never been, they are on a different system. They use a trunked system for their dispatch.
Don Anthony the favors ran out

Trish Stefanski yes we live off Mapletree! Weve been here for 5 years now. Yes everything seems ok. Hubby and I are both working, my neighbor was home though. She said it was very scary. Little weird to look at your ring alert and see a cop standing there not your Amazon package. This happened hours ago. Everything is clear now.
Dianna Marino I would of freaked out seeing that too. Glad everything is ok

Update: We’re hearing this is a swatting incident. Details to follow shortly with a press release.
Ocean County Scanner News my daughtet lives at 35
Ocean County Scanner News our ring feed caught some of it. We are at the corner of Sierra and Mapletree
Ocean County Scanner News so it was fake then…
Ocean County Scanner News people still do this? Wtf?!
Lisa Ehlers Jesse
Here’s the definition of swatting. Swatting is a criminal harassment tactic of deceiving an emergency service into sending a police and emergency service response team to another person’s address. This is triggered by false reporting of a serious law enforcement emergency, such as a bomb threat, murder, hostage situation, or other alleged incident.
Kelly Harris yes I am aware of what swatting is. It’s still happening tho….so it’s not fake…Reading your original comment, it seems like you were asking if this was not actually happening. Fake news.
I mean the phone call….. i don’t mean them being there is fake…. geeze
??
Obviously it’s actually happening when there is photos.
Lisa Ehlers Jesse
What’s fake news?
Lisa Ehlers Jesse omfg. Fake news is an old catchphrase invented by a mental midget.
Ocean County Scanner News No fake news. Just a typical text misunderstanding. ?
Ok
Sorry what is swatting
Karen Mcfarland swatting is when someone calls in a fake call, like hostage situation or suicidal person or something of that nature, to a random house
Caitlin Marie omg ty
Caitlin Marie or the home of someone they have a grudge against
Reggie ??♀️
Hope it’s not a murder or hostage
Samantha Adams Deufel I see what your talking about now
Valerie Lewandowski Geller
Ocean County Scanner News so it was fake??
Kelly Harris no it isn’t fake. I live right here. They had a swat team and someone was taken
They said it was a case of swatting. Someone was probably still arrested for making all of it happen with nothing really wrong
If they even found the person who called it in Kelly. Sometimes its people overseas who call in the swatting scenario and then they cant arrest anyone.
Sarah Grant i said that because she said they were arrested.
Jennifer Marie Skalski
Corrina Lombardo Kyle Coulson
Wow
Nicholas Koff
We live on Avrum and watched all these cops show up from our living room window. No idea what was going on. Didn’t hear anything or see anything else. They were only there about 10 mins, if that.

Cheryl Lugo isn’t this the street by u??
https://ocscanner.news/2019/07/23/tr-update-on-earlier-swatting-incident/
Yes
Brianna Febus
This was posted today but Toms River said it was Monday? I am confused
So this was nothing and an officer was hurt in the process? Who is responsible for this? It is scary that someone can anonymously call the cops and have an outcome like this.
