Hamilton PD Debunk Rumors Of Escaped Wolves Roaming Town

HAMILTON, MA — Hamilton police are urging residents not to believe a social media post claiming escaped wolves are roaming about town. The police department received 32 calls asking about the posting and whether it were true — it's not.

A social media post that circulated on Wednesday morning claimed wolves had escaped from the Wolf Hollow in Ipswich and were roaming around Hamilton. The post was "erroneously framed as a message from Hamilton police," the town said.

With so many calls coming into the department throughout the morning, police dispatchers were advising callers to inform others in town that the rumors were not true.

The town addressed the rumors as well in a notice to the community the same afternoon.

"Hamilton police checked with Wolf Hollow and Ipswich police and determined the message was completely false and that the incident never happened and that all wolves at Wolf Hollow were accounted for," the town said.
