Cllr Tony Bromwich has been in touch with many residents to try to sort out the problem and find the people who can turn the alarm off.

He said: "I do think that the police have a responsibility to ensure residents are not inconvenienced by the alarm going off and if they do no longer own the building, they could assist residents in pointing them into the right direction of any new owners."

We contact Warwickshire Police and they told us: "This is the old police station which is no longer a police building. Officers have attended and it appears the agency responsible has been informed."
