• Gardaí send TikTok warrants in Limerick intimidation and threats probe Intimidation and threats · Co. Limerick

  Anonymous online trolls posted photographs of Daniel Butler's family home with address details and called for people to smash his windows in Limerick. His wife Tania received an anonymous telephone call mentioning a family member, and hours later Butler received an abusive message from a newly created Instagram account. Gardaí opened a second investigation into the harassment, with officers at Roxboro examining the potentially malicious communications. As of May 31, Gardaí have sent warrants to TikTok to identify the accounts behind the intimidation and threats.
