Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 13:33 · Archive
Thames Valley Police secured a closure order on a Wantage property used for drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.
Thames Valley Police's Wantage and Grove neighbourhood policing team secured a closure order for a property in Wantage from Wycombe Magistrates' Court on 9 October. The home had been 'effectively taken over' by people involved in anti-social behaviour and drug use, according to officers.
The closure order bans anyone except a small number of approved individuals from entering the property. Police said the behaviour had created a 'living nightmare' for local residents and left the occupant feeling intimidated and fearful. Anyone found inside without authorisation could be arrested, and police warned against ignoring the court order.
Thames Valley Police said the closure order gives the resident the chance to recover in peace while officers continue to target those responsible for the problems.
