A lowlife trickster put the lives of many people at risk last week when they made a hoax call about a cliff fall during a terrifying Irish storm.
The phone call made to the Greystones Coast Guard Unit stated that a male had reportedly fallen down a cliff and was cut off by the tide during Storm Ciara last Sunday.
The Unit along with Wicklow Fire Service and Wicklow Gardaí, began a full search of the area before 2pm.
Three emergency services were deployed to the area but once the operation was completed, the call was declared a hoax and all units were stood down.
They added: "Gardaí are taking this very seriously and are investigating."
