Incident 12251 Report
Purportedly AI-Generated 'Home Invasion Prank' Images Reportedly Circulate in Ireland, Causing Panic and False Emergency Calls

2025-10-03

Irish police (Garda Síochána) reportedly issued a public warning after a viral "home invasion" prank spread on social media. The prank allegedly uses AI image-generation filters to insert a fake intruder into photos of family homes and send them to relatives, often elderly, claiming someone has broken in. The hoax reportedly caused panic and distress, and multiple false 999 calls diverted Garda resources, prompting an official appeal to stop the trend.
