Some hilarious prankster has gotten his or her idle hands on a missing police radio and has been using it to trick police officers to respond to false claims of cops under attack in Brooklyn. Making prank calls about police officers in trouble—for when shining laser pointers at airplanes starts to get a little stale?
While it is unclear how many false "10-13" calls have been made, it seems that multiple times police have been sent scrambling to the Bushwick Houses—where officer Kevin Brennan was shot in the head last year. "All transmissions were made from a radio that's known to be missing and responding officers found nobody hurt or needing help," police sources tell DNAinfo
