Listen: "Can we go running in our bikinis?" Cops shame fools responsible for worst time-wasting 999 call.
Leicestershire Police are fed-up with silly questions and daft reports clogging up emergency lines meant for genuine callers. Police have to deal with time-wasters but the joke was on a raft of callers shamed in a compilation of time-wasting calls on April Fool’s Day.
One dim-wit called 999 to tell officers there was a rat "the size of a rabbit" in her friend’s kitchen. And another thought the best way to find out if they could pull over on the M1 hard shoulder to go to the LOO was to call the cops.
The worst phone call is a man requesting help exchanging trainers he has just purchased. A seething 999 operator is so angry she brands the call "an entirely inappropriate use" of the emergency number.
For non-emergencies people should call 101 or visit the force’s website which contains a section called Ask the Police.
