Property closed by police over reports of drug use

A property in Daventry has been issued with a closure order following issues with drugs and anti-social behaviour.

Northamptonshire Police said Crabtree House on Brook Street had seen "ongoing reports" of people "using drugs in communal areas and frequently behaving in a nuisance manner".

The property has been fully boarded up after officers secured a three-month closure order at Northampton Magistrates' Court earlier this month.

PC Tom Wills said: "Residents within this property had caused significant upset and disruption to the daily lives of the local community for a long period of time."

"It is our job as police officers to respond to these types of issues and that's why we worked so hard to secure this closure order," he continued.

"The behaviour demonstrated by these problem residents will not be tolerated, and Northamptonshire Police will continue to take positive action... to deter such behaviour and build confidence within the local community."
