Officers secure closure order against property

We have secured a closure order at a property in Tunstall following persistent reports of anti-social behaviour and drug dealing.

On Monday (22 April), local officers secured the three-month closure order at an address on Wardle Street after working closely with residents to tackle the issues that matter the most to them.

It means that people can't enter the property throughout the period, other than the housing association, emergency service workers and professionals.

PCSO Susan Wall, from Stoke North local policing team (LPT), said: "We will continue to take action against those who continue to engage in anti-social behaviour across Staffordshire.

"We remain committed to acting in the best interests of our communities and anybody not adhering to the order will be dealt with in accordance with the powers that this order gives.”
