WILTSHIRE Police's phone lines were down for an hour earlier today.

Both the 101 and 999 phone lines stopped working at 1pm due to IT problems.

Any emergency calls while the lines were down were redirected and answered by Gloucestershire Police.

Any 101 calls weren't answered, though anyone with calls that aren't urgent should call back now that the IT issues have been resolved.

The phone lines were fixed by 1.55pm.

A spokesperson for the force said: "We apologise for the disruption to our service and thank you for your patience while this matter was dealt with."
