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 on Ogden Park, Bracknell was granted on Thursday, May 14, by Reading Magistrates' Court under Section 80 of the Anti Social Behaviour, Crime and Disorder Act 2014.
Police applied for the order against the property following complaints of anti-social behaviour.
The partial 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.
PC Paul Strutt of the Bracknell Central North Neighbourhood Policing Team based at Bracknell and Wokingham station, said: “Our communities have a right to live in their homes without the fear of anti-social behaviour impacting on their personal lives.
"Now, more than ever, as we encourage people to stay at home as much as they can, our Neighbourhood Policing Team have worked with Bracknell Forest Community Safety Partnership and other agencies to secure this 3 month closure order to tackle those issues.”
