A teenager from Cambridgeshire has been warned she faces a possible jail term after making .

Kerry Ann Moate, 18, of Samuel Jones Crescent, Little Paxton, was arrested at home after police traced her phone.

Huntingdon Magistrates' Court heard Moate dialled the emergency services repeatedly between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

She admitted making the calls and will be sentenced in February.

Prosecutors said Moate also made 44 hoax 999 calls between 11 December and 13 December.

'Public in danger'

She was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday and charged with "persistently making use of public communication networks to cause annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety".

The court was told police had classed finding Moate as "critical" because her actions were putting the public in danger.

Moate has a history of similar offences. Her defence solicitor told the court her client did not know why she had done it.

Magistrates warned her she could be jailed.

She must be :crazy:

Sometimes the legal route is the only way some people get the treatment they need.

Idiot. Not that she'd have known, but just looking at the number of serious crimes that have made the news over the Christmas period, is enough to make me angry at her for wasting the time of the emergency services.
