http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7869535.stm Version 0 of 1. Incidents involving snowballs prompted members of the public to make more than 500 emergency 999 calls to police in Nottinghamshire. A force spokeswoman said some of the snowball-related calls were genuine emergencies and incidents. However she said some were of a trivial nature that did not warrant the use of an emergency call to police. Officers have reminded members of the public to only dial 999 for genuine emergencies. |
