Police release audio footage of time-wasters who dial 999

Police have released audio footage of a time-waster who dialled 999 to complain that his wife was "snoring like a motorbike".

Another person reported his neighbour power-washing a garden path while one young man asked call handlers to contact his mum as he’d run out of phone credit.

West Midlands Police today (Thurs) revealed example of the barmy calls they received on their busiest ever day in a bid to clamp down on nuisance callers.
