A CRACK house closure has been ordered for 1 Ketton Road, in Stockton, as it was being used by drug dealers.
The property was boarded up on Friday.
Five people, three women and two men, were arrested with possession of a class A drug with intent to supply.
They have been bailed pending further enquiries.
PC Tony Snow, of Stockton Police, said: "Anyone who deals in drugs should realise that we will take decisive action like we did in this case.
"We would still encourage people living in the community to contact us if they think their neighbours are acting suspiciously."
