Sheffield woman, 29, charged with making 'hoax' 999 call about a stabbing that never happened

A 29-year-old Sheffield woman has been charged with allegedly making a 'hoax' 999 call about a stabbing.

Chantelle Sykes, of Pollard Crescent in Southey Green, has been charged with conveying false information, breach of bail conditions, and breach of a criminal behaviour order.

The charges relate to an incident on January 30 at around 10.30pm, when a 999 call was made to South Yorkshire Police reporting someone had been stabbed, which the force says was later found to be a hoax.

Sykes has been bailed and will appear before Sheffield Magistrates' Court on February 20, 2024.
