Police have taken action following reports of drug-related crimes and anti-social behaviour at a North East property.

The house, located on Gladstone Street in Loftus, North Yorkshire, was flagged by Cleveland Police following concern from residents.

The house has now been placed under a three-month closure order.

Officers worked in partnership with Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council to gather evidence and apply for the order.

Inspector Neil Deluce, of Redcar & East Cleveland Neighbourhoods, said:

"Once again our application for a house closure order was granted at court after all the evidence was presented there.

"These orders are an extremely valuable tool against those who take part in—or allow at their property—repeated ASB and criminality.

"We completely understand how these issues can affect other residents who simply want to live a peaceful life, and my message is that Cleveland Police will always work with our partner agencies."
