Paris : Three young French women are facing possible jail time and heavy fines for making nearly 1,000 prank calls to Paris fire-fighters over more than a year, police said.
The calls, made between February 2011 and September 2012, included insults to fire-fighters, incoherent babbling and false reports of emergencies, the Paris police prefecture said.
Four of the calls resulted in fire-fighters wasting time by responding to false alarms.
Police eventually tracked the calls to two sisters, aged 17 and 20, and their 16-year-old friend. The three admitted to making the calls, police said, and are due to appear in court for sentencing.
They each face up to two years in prison and a 30,000 euro ($39,000) fine for the false alarms.
