Whilst conducting their uniformed foot patrols in Rugby Town Centre yesterday afternoon, Officers from the Town Centre SNT took swift and effective action in two separate incidents.

With the help from our Rugby First CCTV Operators, PCSO 6308 Miller and PCSO 8910 France-King, a male wanted by Police was located and subsequently arrested on suspicion of sexual assault by PC 1475 Hextall.

In a separate incident, a male found to be unlawfully riding an e-scooter in the town was stopped by Officers. Following checks with Immigration Compliance and Enforcement (ICE), it was discovered that he had overstayed his UK visa by more than a year. The male was subsequently arrested by PC 2061 Bonsor, his e-scooter seized, transported to custody and handed over to ICE.
