Police have criticised someone for calling the 999 number after losing their mobile phone
LOSING your mobile phone is not a reason to call 999 after police received such a call from a member of the public.
The West Yorkshire Police Contact Management Centre often tweet some of the more unusual phone calls they receive from the general public.
And this tweet was no exception after a 999 call by someone after they had lost their mobile and asked the police to get them a replacement phone.
Here is the Contact Centre’s tweet in full:
Loosing your phone is not a reason to be calling 999. Neither can you ask us to give you a replacement phone. #Not999
