Woman made 339 abusive calls to 999 operators

-

Police then deployed specialist officers to work with Osinska to address her behaviour.

But she remained uncooperat­ive and continued to make malicious calls.

When she was arrested last week, she told officers: “Well, everyone calls 999. I read it in the paper.”

Following the court hearing, Superinten­dent Mark Kenny of GMP’s Salford Division said: “Anyone who ties up a 999 line with inappropri­ate calls prevents genuine emergencie­s being dealt with, and potentiall­y puts lives in danger.

“Osinska’s deplorable behaviour has run this risk hundreds of times – not to mention causing gross offence to the hard-working call handlers who’ve had to deal with her frequent abuse, as well as wasting public money.

“The nature of Osinska’s calls was frequently vile – and never once referred to a valid emergency situation.

“She has been given numerous chances to cease this behaviour, but has refused time after time to engage with officers.

“Quite why she continued; only she knows. She has brought this punishment upon herself and will now have a long time to think about her actions.”

Osinska, of Liverpool Road, Peel Green, pleaded guilty pleading guilty to making use of a public communicat­ion network to cause annoyance.
