Fraction, Hampshire Friday 9th October 2015 Police station closed after flying squad move in. A FLEA infestation has forced the closure of a police station housing the area’s entire Criminal investigation team. Fratton station, in Kingston Crescent, has been forced to close as it’s being fumigated. All detectives and investigative staff were moved to the station earlier this year and the closure has forced them to work elsewhere. A spokesman for the office of the Hampshire police and crime commissioner said: ‘We can confirm that Fratton Police Station has been fumigated for animal fleas this morning and staff will be able to return to the building from 0700 on Saturday. ‘This infestation could only have happened because an animal has entered the building, so we would like to take this opportunity to remind the public that animals must not be brought into police buildings, apart from guide dogs. ‘We are aware that the closure of Fratton Police Station could inconvenience the public and police staff and appreciate the flexibility they have demonstrated while this problem is treated.’ The spokesman did not reveal the animal which got into the station. ©UKNIP
