The legendary star of Grand Theft Auto V has once again found himself the target of a malicious online prank.
Ned Luke, the actor renowned for his iconic portrayal of Michael De Santa, recently fell victim to yet another “swatting” attempt—a dangerous hoax where false reports are made to emergency services to trigger a high-stakes police response.
This latest ordeal occurred during a live stream, marking at least the eighth time the actor has been targeted in this fashion. The local authorities have become so accustomed to these fraudulent calls that one officer reportedly greeted Luke upon arrival by exclaiming, “You got swatted again!”
While these “pranksters” may think their actions are harmless, they are beginning to face real-world legal repercussions. Ned Luke previously hinted that justice is being served, noting that at least one individual involved in these harassment campaigns has already been taken to court.
