We're afraid that some plumbing issues have left us unable to open the front desk at Rugby police station today and - sorry to say - it will remain shut until further notice.

Unfortunately, we're not able to open the station to the public if we can't provide the proper facilities.

And though there's a few of us who would happily have a go at fixing this with some Gorilla tape and a hammer, we really need to get the professionals in, so it might take a few days to get things sorted.

But while we have obligations to you around facilities etc. Please rest assured it takes a bit more than some iffy plumbing to phase your Bobbies and we're carrying on as normal.

Our beat Bobbies and PCSOs are still working from the station and our response officers are still there 24/7 to deal with any incoming 999 calls.

Remember, you can still contact us by calling 101 or visiting https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/ro/report

Always call 999 in an emergency.

Thanks all for your patience!
