I know of a few people with fake facebook accounts. I reported to Facebook, but I'm curious if the police would be interested. These people are in Wales.

Unless the facebook accounts are used for criminal activities then why on earth would the police be interested.
A "troll" in computer terms is somebody who uses a fake email account or twitter account or facebook account (or other fake account) to post nasty messages to try to get a reaction or provoke anger, for the "fun" of it.
For example some people set up Facebook pages for a friend or relative who have died to allow people to post "so sad" type messages.
But some trolls go round putting nasty "glad you died" type messages on these Facebook pages just for the sake of it (and because they are sad people).
If these fake Facebook pages are for doing things like that the police MAY be interested, but may not have time to do anything about it.
More likely the Facebook administrators would be intertested, but even then some nasty Facebook pages have appeared which people have complained about but even tney have not shut down.
For example someone set up a Facebook page for peple to post jokes about dead babies, and even though there were protest Facebok did not shut it down (not sure if they have yet)

The police may be interested if they are using this fake account to try to groom underage children or to try to get a boyfriend/girlfriend in the hope of scamming them, or committing other criminal activities.
But if they are just doing it for "fun" the police wont be interested.

Quick, call the police, that person has more than one Facebook account.
Well, of course, the police would arrest them immediately. There was, after all, a law passed only last year saying that people could only have one Facebook account. I think it's about 5 years in prison and a £2000 fine if found guilty. And that sentence is doubled if they happen to live in Wales.

If they are using a photo that is available publicly then what?
I have several FB a/c but it's purely for my own to have extra items in some of the games that are on there. You are limited to how many a/c you have simply because you must now provide a mobile number to have one and one number will only do 4 a/c's
