Hoax 999 callers can have 'extremely serious consequences', the ambulance service has warned, as the highest volume of fake dials within the North West are coming from Greater Manchester.
New data has revealed that the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) has received almost 4,000 fake calls since 2018. Of those 3,723 calls, some 1,606 came from within Greater Manchester.
