Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: 15-year-old makes false emergency calls in Neubrandenburg

Neubrandenburg (dpa/mv) - A 15-year-old made several false emergency calls in Neubrandenburg, keeping the police on their toes unnecessarily. On Saturday evening he called from different phone booths and reported imaginary emergency situations, the police said. The officers identified the last phone booth that the youth used and took the 15-year-old into custody. The boy had probably made false emergency calls in the past, police said. She is now investigating the abuse of emergency calls and faking crimes.
