Man fined over 999 taxi hoax

A Gloucestershire man has been arrested after dialling 999 to complain about being overcharged by a taxi driver.

The 23-year-old then made a second call claiming he would set himself on fire and police cars, an ambulance and fire crew went to his Mickleton home.

The man has been fined £80 for wasting police time with the calls, which officers said was "deeply frustrating".
