MAGISTRATES have ordered shut an address linked to anti-social behaviour.

Police implemented the partial closure order for an address in Craven Walk, Southampton, on Monday, June 20.

The address has been linked to anti-social behaviour and has caused "misery" for neighbours.

It means that no one other than the home residents will be able to enter or remain at the address.

Anyone who does will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.

PC Andy Barker from Southampton Central’s Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "We’ve received a number of reports about anti-social behaviour at the address, which has caused misery for neighbours.

“We took action to improve the lives of local residents and would like to thank the community for their support and patience while we worked with partners to get the evidence to secure this order.

“These types of closures are not straightforward, as it ultimately means restrictions are placed upon someone living in their home.

“However, in instances like these we will do all we can to stop anti-social behaviour and the enormous impact it creates.”

The order was secured by Hampshire Constabulary in partnership with Southampton City Council.
