Kent Police have complained after a woman from Chatham dialled 999 to report a missing snowman.

The woman claimed that the missing figure was a genuine theft because of the pound coins she had used for eyes, BBC News reports.

She told the emergency operator: "There's been a theft from outside my house. I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag and he's gone.

"My snowman. I thought that with it being icy and there not being anybody about, he'd be safe... a snowman made of snow, I made him myself.

"It ain't a nice road but at the end of the day, you don't expect someone to nick your snowman, you know what I mean?"

According to This Is Kent, Chief inspector Simon Black said: "This call could have cost someone's life if there was a genuine emergency and they couldn't get through. It was completely irresponsible - we have spoken to her and advised her what is a 999 call, and this is clearly not.

"We do have powers to prosecute people for misusing the 999 system, but in this case the woman genuinely thought this was a theft that she should report it because she'd used pound coins for the eyes and teaspoons for the arms."
