A HOUSE being repeatedly taken over by anti-social behaviour has been partially sealed by order of a magistrates' judge – after neighbours raised concerns to the police.
The order on a house in High Wycombe was granted earlier this week, by Magistrates' Court under Section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Disorder Act 2014.
Police applied for the order against both properties following complaints of anti-social behaviour.
The closure prevents anyone other than the specified persons listed on the order from entering the property for a period of three months.
Anyone who enters the house will commit an offence and would be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment, a fine, or both.
Thames Valley Police said on social media: "The Problem Solving Team have worked hard to secure two closure orders this week. A full closure order for a property in Downley [and a] partial closure order for a property in Marlow.
"Both are in relation to ASB, which was affecting those in properties nearby."
