Ayr's new police station will have 'no cells', Ayrshire Live can reveal.
Cops making arrests in the town will have to ferry crooks to other main custody centres which serve Ayrshire, with their new HQ in Newton House not able to facilitate cells.
Criminals could be taken along the road to Kilmarnock or Saltcoats, or they could be sent an incredible 50 miles down the A77 to the other holding dock used by Ayrshire's force in Stranraer.
