NEW BERN, N.C. – The Coast Guard is seeking the public\’s help to identify individuals responsible for recent false distress calls in North Carolina.

Sector North Carolina watchstanders overheard two men talking on their marine VHF radios about making false distress calls to the Coast Guard. One of the men admitted to previously making a false distress call to the Coast Guard.

False distress calls limit the Coast Guard\’s ability to respond to actual emergencies. They also unnecessarily endanger the lives of responders and waste thousands of tax payer dollars annually.
