Youth charged over hoax 999 calls

A teenager has been charged with wasting police time following an investigation into hoax 999 calls.

A helicopter and dog handlers were called out on 20 September in Bedford after reports a man had been killed.

A 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been traced over the false reports and is due to appear at Bedford Youth Court on 17 October.

Two 14-year-old youths, also arrested in connection with the incident, have received formal reprimands from police.
