The extremist terror cult known as 764 perpetrated the bomb threat against a Pasadena hospital on Friday.
A person who made the bomb threat against Huntington Hospital early Friday revealed themselves to be a member of the group during call, according to the Los Angeles Times.
A city spokesperson originally said an “extremist group” known to law enforcement was behind the call.
The spokesperson, Lisa Derderian, said the unidentified caller provided some information that could aid in the investigation of the frightening incident.
“They did identify the group that they were with and then gave a detailed account of what they were going to do,” she said.
“The name is known to law enforcement, and they detailed the bomb threat in addition to some other information,” she added.
The 764 cult is notorious for swatting calls and other malicious deeds. The group often blackmails its victims, often minors, into making swatting calls and engaging in sick acts against themselves or others.
Members have disrupted the Los Angeles area and traumatized local children. One member, Bryant Najera Gonzalez, told a victim to carve his screen name into her skin and threatened to send sexually explicit images to members of victims’ families. He was arrested in Downey in February of this year and charged with production of child pornography.
Although no one was hurt following Friday’s threat, Derderian said such incidents are “very disruptive,” and siphon resources away from law enforcement and fire response teams.
She said technology has made it easier for perpetrators to sow chaos with threatening calls and several Pasadena schools have been targeted in sinister incidents this year.
“It takes numerous resources every time something like this happens,” Derderian said. “If we can try to determine an individual or group, in working in coordination with the FBI and other agencies, we will definitely follow up with criminal charges.”
Federal officials in Washington, DC, have also taken notice of the 764 group, charging sickos Leonidas “War” Varagiannis, and Prasan “Trippy” Nepal, last year for allegedly coercing girls to cut themselves, perform gross sex acts, and engage in other horrifying behavior.
“This sick group convinced young girls to perform heinous acts for the group’s perverse entertainment: self-mutilation, online sexual acts, self-immolation, harm to animals, and even suicide and murder,” US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro previously told The Post.
The FBI and Pasadena Police Department are still investigating the hospital swatting call in hopes of identifying the caller.
