Woman calls 999 to complain about lack of sprinkles on her ice cream

An irate woman called emergency services to moan her ice cream did not have enough chocolate sprinkles. West Midlands Police's Force Contact team gave a suitably icy response when operators received the time-wasting request. The force tweeted: "999 call from adult female who was reporting an ice cream vendor for not putting enough chocolate sprinkles on her cone... #unbelievable" Chief Superintendent Jim Andronov, head of the force's Contact Centre, said: "Typically West Midlands Police receive over 1,500 calls a day to the 999 number and our operatives have to deal with each one accordingly.
