A 43-year-old woman appeared in court on Tuesday charged with using a phone for fictitious purposes after calling the police 39 times in three months, with no real cause for concern.
Rachel Catherine Kokaua pleaded guilty to the charge and was convicted by Judge Tony Adeane who ordered her to come up for sentence if called upon within six months.
A police summary of facts said that between April 22 and August 8, Kokaua called the police 39 times to report prowlers, peeping Toms and, most recently, armed offenders on her property.
Each call was attended by police who established there was no reason to be there and that the calls were fictitious.
On August 7, Kokaua called the police and said there were offenders in her backyard who had firearms.
