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 in Appleford Road, Reading was granted on Tuesday, July 19, 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.
Thames Valley Police said: "You reported anti-social behaviour around Appleford Road and Dwyer Road.
"Alongside Reading Borough Council and the neighbourhood team we placed a partial closure order on an address, NHPT have been regularly patrolling the area and working with the council to reduce ASB in the area."
