There was more facial fuzz than usual in New Mole House this afternoon after Response Team 2 officers showed off their “Movember” moustaches.

The annual fundraiser will see the boys in blue ditch their razors for the rest of the month to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues – in particular mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer.

Nine lads from RT2 are hoping to raise £2,000 for the cause by growing a moustache – and have already raised just over £100.

An RGP spokesman said: “One of the Response Team 2 officers asked the shift to get involved as he has lost 12 former colleagues to suicide since leaving the armed forces and joining the Royal Gibraltar Police. Mental health is also an issue that affects officers in the RGP.

“We’ll post a photo update on the moustaches and the total amount of money raised at the end of the month. May the best moustache win.”

For anyone wishing to donate to the cause, there will be a charity collection box in the reception at New ‘Mo’ House.
