A PROPERTY in Newton Abbot has been shut for three months after antisocial behaviour (ASB) was reported to police.

Devon and Cornwall Police obtained a Closure Order at a property on Foxglove Close following reports from the community of ASB.

The order, which was obtained on Wednesday, will make it an offence for anyone to enter the property.

Newton Abbot Neighbourhood Policing Team have said: ‘We had received reports from the public of persistent anti-social behaviour (ASB) happening across all hours of the day at the address.

‘All of this was having an overwhelming impact on the local resident’s wellbeing and livelihoods. It was important we took proportionate action in the interest of the local community.

‘Thank you to everyone who came forward - we listened to your reports and took action.

‘No one should be made to feel uncomfortable or worried in the area they live’.

Safeguarding referrals have been made to provide supportive intervention and work is ongoing to ensure future crime prevention, the Mid-Devon Advertiser understands.
