She will appear in court charged with intentionally causing a public nuisance
A woman from Burnley has been charged with making nuisance calls after it’s alleged she made over eighty 999 calls to Lancashire Police over a two month period.
In a social media update, Lancashire Police said:
“Over the last 2 months, Lancashire Police’s control room have received 87 calls from a number whereby no request was made and it was clear the person calling was preventing our call takers from dealing with genuine emergencies.
Tonight, officers from Burnley Neighbourhood have charged Angela SCHILLACI of New Ground Court with Intentionally / recklessly causing a public nuisance. She has been bailed to appear in court at a later date.
Can we take this opportunity to please remind everyone that 999 should only be used in emergencies and to utilise our online reporting tool for non emergencies.
By doing this, you allow us to help the people who really need our help at that moment and we can continue protecting the most vulnerable of our communities.
Lancashire Police will not tolerate the misuse of the 999 system. Thank you”
