A WOMAN who repeatedly used the 999 emergency service in non-emergency situations has been made subject to a criminal antisocial behaviour order.

Blackburn magistrates also sentenced Pauline Louise Green, 54, to six weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, after admitting calling police in breach of an antisocial behaviour order which has now expired.
