A High Wycombe flat has been shut down by police for anti-social behaviour.

A flat in Chiltern Court on Ogilvie Road has been slapped with a closure order, banning anyone except the named occupants from going inside for three months.

Police said they asked Wycombe Magistrates' Court for the closure because they have had reports that it is being used for criminal purposes.

The flat was served with a notice on February 24 and the closure order was granted in a hearing the next day at Wycombe Magistrates' Court.

The order, under section 80 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, says the flat must be closed down "immediately" and "remain closed for three months".

Wycombe police officers reminded residents that if they have any issues with anti-social behaviour to report, they can get in touch via 101 to report them.
