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 Mount Lane, Bracknell was granted on Wednesday, August 26, 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 Neighbourhood Policing Teams work closely with housing associations and the local authority to protect our communities from anti-social behaviour. I’m pleased that we’ve obtained this closure order as it will deter those who seek to cause upset to our communities and it will protect the residents from potentially harmful behaviour.”‬
