The ongoing anti-social behaviour has led to a closure order being issued for a home in Littleport.
The order was issued to 24 Sandys Crescent yesterday (November 13) and means the property will be partially closed for three months.
East Cambridgeshire’s Neighbourhood Policing Team made the application which was granted by Peterborough Magistrates’ Court.
PC Will Speak, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: “Residents living in the surrounding streets of the property have endured no end of anti-social behaviour incidents.
“The closure order allows the tenants to remain living at the address but will prevent those who have been attending to commit anti-social behaviour and other criminal offences.”

The closure order states that the house be partially closed in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour and Policing Act 2014.
No one is permitted to enter except the tenant and emergency services until February 12, 2025.
If anyone is found on the premises unlawfully during that period, they render themselves liable for arrest.
