SOMEONE rang the 999 emergency line...asking police for a lift home after attending a party out of their area.
West Yorkshire Police's Contact Management Centre shared details of the call to highlight the importance of using 999 for emergency calls only.
The team often tweets some of the more unusual phone calls they receive from the general public.
The force receives 120 inappropriate calls each day, adding one is too many, as part of its #Not999 campaign.
And this one was no exception.
As police pointed out, this latest request was a clear breach of the lockdown restrictions.
Please do not ring 999 for a lift home after you have travelled out of your area to attend a party the night before. Clear breach of coronavirus restrictions! pic.twitter.com/s96gOsn0eT
