OFFICERS have secured a closure order for a residential property in Warrington following reports of anti-social behaviour, excessive noise and drug use.
The address in St Peter’s Way has been shut down by officers from the Northern Problem Solving Team after they secured a closure order at Chester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 15 April.
This order was granted thanks to evidence collated by officers and intelligence from the local community following multiple reports of anti-social behaviour, drug use, and excessive noise.
The occupant has since been ordered to leave the property and find alternative accommodation, with all windows and doors being secured for a period of three months.
Anyone who enters the address during that time will be committing a criminal offence.
Police Constable Darren Wood said: “Closure orders are just one of the many tools we use to help keep communities safe and crime free. This three-month closure order will provide respite for the community from the issues arising from the address.
“I would urge anyone with concerns about anti-social behaviour or other criminality in their community to please contact local officers and we will do everything we can to address these issues and achieve justice.”
Anyone with concerns about anti-social behaviour in their area is asked to report it to Cheshire Police via the Cheshire Police website or call 101.
