Three Peterborough shops closed due to drugs and ASB concerns
Three shops have been closed in Peterborough after concerns were raised about drug dealing and associated anti-social behaviour.
Peterborough Magistrates’ Court issued the three-month orders closing the Musa store, the Constanta shop and D1 Barbers, all on Lincoln Road, on Wednesday, February 25.
The ruling for the stores, in Millfield, followed an application from the force’s Northern Neighbourhoods Team.
Sergeant Paul Littlechild said: “Closure orders allow us to target the core issues within the community, and in this instance, it was drug dealing and its associated anti-social behaviour.
“Through regular patrols, we will ensure this order is adhered to. If you have any information about the order being breached, then please report it to us.”
The full closure orders state that the premises be closed in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour and Policing Act 2014. No one is permitted to enter except the emergency services until 24 May 2026.
If anyone is found on the premises unlawfully, they render themselves liable for arrest.
