But Insp Abdul Aziz, of South Yorkshire Police, said a police investigation found it to be hoax and enquiries are ongoing to locate the caller.

Insp Aziz said: “Calls of this nature will not be tolerated, are dangerous and are a waste of police resources.

“We will be taking action to locate and prosecute the caller.”
