Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesman Chris Togneri confirmed four cases were reported

According to the Trib Live, Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesman Chris Togneri said the police had received four reports of the recording being played outside homes in the south side of the city. 

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Pittsburgh Deputy Public Information Officer Cara Cruz confirmed the cases and said the police would not be commenting further.

‘Police have received multiple reports recently from people in the South Side area of the city of Pittsburgh who hear what sounds like a recording of a baby crying or a child’s voice asking for help,’ the statement said. 

‘Zone 3 officers have responded to each call. In each case (four altogether), officers did not hear the sound or locate the source of the sound. However, we ask that anyone who hears something similar to these reports call 911 immediately.

‘No one from Pittsburgh Police will be commenting on this at at this time.’

 The four reports made so far all noted that it was a recording of babies crying and off children calling out for help. 

According to Royce Jones from KDKA, the people targeted have been predominantly college students. 

‘Obviously the people who live in the apartments where this is happening are freaked out,’ he reported. 

‘They’ve contacted police whenever this happens. There are four reported incidents of this so far, police confirm, and every time Zone 3 officers respond to these calls, they don’t find anybody.

‘We don’t know what the motive is.’
