In 2023, actor Ned Luke, who played Michael in Grand Theft Auto V, became a victim of swatting (a false call to special services).
During a GTA Online stream, the actor received a call and learned of the arrival of the police.
This story has a sequel. Ned Luke shared a photograph of a document-notification of an upcoming court hearing in December 2025:
I am contacting you because law enforcement has identified you as a victim or potential victim in the investigation of the specified criminal case.
The court is expected to announce the verdict on January 27, 2026. The actor does not directly say that this meeting is related to a false call to special forces. However, Ned Luke "likes" comments from users who ask if this is related to swatting.
It is unknown who exactly will receive the sentence — Ned Luke has been a victim of swatting several times.
