Police 'partially close' home in Peterborough due to concerns about drug use and anti-social behaviour
A home in Peterborough has been partially closed due to concerns about drug use and anti-social behaviour.
Cambridgeshire police say the partial closure order was served on 56 Vere Road, Millfield, following a successful application to magistrates.
Police say the order, which is in place until June 9, prohibits access to everyone, with the exception of the house owner and emergency services.
Failure to comply with the order is a criminal offence which could result in imprisonment for up to three months, a fine, or both.
The order was made at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court by the local Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) on March 10.
Afterwards, PC Barry Morton, from the Peterborough Central NPT, said: “Drug use and anti-social behaviour has a significant impact on the community it occurs in, and I hope this order shows that we do listen to their concerns.
“Any breaches will be dealt with robustly, and I urge those with information to report it to us.”
Anyone with information about the order being breached should contact police online at www.cambs.police.uk/report.
Those without internet access should call 101.
