Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are urging the public to think before they call the emergency services after a 999 call was made over a closed KFC.
GMP received a call from a man on Wednesday 21 February during the national closure of KFC restaurants last week. The man claimed he had an emergency and was “entirely not happy” because he now had to go to Burger King.
Sitting alongside 73 other 999 calls that hour alone, the man took 48 seconds to clear the line. GMP said he put lives at risk by keeping call handlers from answering real emergencies.
