A Norwich woman who bombarded police with bogus calls has admitted 10 further offences after continuing with her habit.

Anne Egglestone was convicted earlier this month of breaching a criminal behaviour order preventing her from making unnecessary calls to emergency services.

But a court has now heard that she continued making abusive calls to 101 - even while waiting the sentencing of her recent appearance.

She had previously appeared before magistrates in relation to her nuisance calls on December 12.

But Norwich Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday that days later she continued to pepper the police with calls.

The court heard that Egglestone, 60 and of Spinney Close, made multiple calls to the police on December 14, 19 and 21.

Prosecutor Sarah Finney told the court she had made several calls to the police on these dates, becoming "abusive" towards the call handlers she reached.

She said that during these foul-mouthed calls she became aggressive towards the handlers.

Matt Diss, for Egglestone, said: "She lives alone having divorced 10 years ago and has two children - one in New Zealand and another she has no contact with.

"She has a 10-month-old grandchild that she has never met.

"Given the time of year, the breaches she made were a poorly placed call for support."

He added that her calls were made to try and find out arrangements would be made for her dog should she end up serving a custodial sentence.

Speaking from the dock, Egglestone said: "I do not want to waste the court's time, but I do now feel I am getting more support.

"I thank you for the consideration you have given me."

Chairman of the bench Matthew Watts granted Egglestone bail ahead of her sentencing on February 15.

He added: "You need to think of this as your last chance."
