In this call to Cleveland Police, they requested that police officers come to collect them from the street as they were “f****** freezing” - and had already called up once before.

They go on to argue with the police call handler, telling her she is being “funny” and repeatedly ask how long it will be until their lift arrives to take them home.

The call handler has to ask the girls to repeat themselves numerous times, as they are laughing on the line.

During their trial at Leeds Crown Court, Snapchat images were released of the two girls in the back of the police van.

In the image, the girl said: “In the back on the bizzle van again.”
