Action on properties at centre of crime issues

Closure orders have been secured for two Cornish properties at the centre of alleged drug crimes and anti-social behaviour.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the orders for the buildings on Berries Avenue in Bude had been granted after officers received reports of suspected drug dealing, drug-related violence and anti-social behaviour.

The force said reports included people visiting the properties at all hours of the day including some who had taken drugs, which led to further disturbances.

The orders make it an offence for anyone to enter either address for three months.
