A rapper is tying up police emergency lines by bombarding a force with nuisance calls.
He dials 999 before rapping to operators at Greater Manchester Police - who are not allowed to cut him off.
Despite officers blocking more than 60 sim cards, the man has plagued them since January 2009.
In the past three months he has made 700 calls, some lasting up to five minutes, costing the force £1,000 a month.
Supt Karan Lee said his "inappropriate outbursts" are putting "lives at risk".
During many of the calls, the operator answers the phone to be met with a barrage of music and rants.
His rapping is difficult to decipher but during one call he started shouting about his citizen's rights.
