A property plagued by incidents of anti-social behaviour in Warrington has been closed down.
Cheshire Constabulary carried out a closure order at an address in Statham Avenue, Orford
The order was made after officers received frequent reports of anti-social and criminal behaviour at the address which have had a significant impact on people in the local community.
The property, which is rented by a single tenant, will now be boarded up for a period of three months. Anyone who enters the house during that time is committing an offence and can be arrested.
Inspector Neil Drum said: “The bad behaviour of the tenant and his visitors, which was often in the early hours, was having a detrimental impact on the community as a whole and therefore we have taken action against this.
“We want people to be able to live in their homes without being blighted by this sort of behaviour and we want to thank the local residents for their support.”
