Police traced the calls to Sinclair's phone.

A 21-year-old Fife man made a hoax call about a bomb being in a suitcase at a shopping centre because he was 'bored' and thought it would be 'a laugh'.

Cop impersonator Dylan Sinclair also made phone calls to random elderly women. He told a 75-year-old woman at 1.15am that people were trying to get into her home.

Another woman, who was 83 at the time, was also called in the early hours of the morning by the time-waster.
