In my experience, denials like this mean that a deal is being done on the quiet: http://www.stratford-herald.com/82170-stratford-police-station-will-not-sold.html

Frankly, I don't know why Stratford has a police station anyway; hardly any police are seen during the day, and none at all after 5pm, and anyone who's arrested is carted of to Leamington.

If you knew just how many police were available overnight, you'd be horrified.

I always said that if I wanted to make a night robbery in any of the shires, I'd set up a diversion at the opposite end of the shire and I'd have at least 30 minutes to get on with my naughtiness.
