An Apple repair center accidentally called 911 about 1,600 times in four months — and no one knows why

An Apple repair and refurbishment center in Elk Grove, Calif., has placed about 1,600 accidental calls to 911 over the past four months — and it's not at all clear why.
Jason Jimenez, public information officer at the Elk Grove Police Department, confirmed a report from CBS13 in Sacramento that emergency dispatchers have been fielding about 20 of the calls a day since October. They appear to be entirely accidental. But they are a nuisance to operators trying to address real emergency calls, particularly if they come in while a dispatcher is dealing with another situation.
