โA flat in Maindee has been boarded up following reports of anti-social behaviour and drug dealing.
๐ค We've responded to residentsโ concerns and worked with partners to secure a closure order on the property in Prince Street.
๐Newport Magistrates' Court granted the closure order, for a period of three months, on Monday 19 October.
PC Julie Morris, a crime and disorder reduction officer (CADRO) in the Newport East neighbourhood policing team, said:
๐ฌ"We hope this closure order reassures residents in the Maindee area and beyond that we are listening to your concerns, and demonstrates our commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour, illegal drug use and safeguarding our communities.โ๐ฌ
๐๏ธ During the period of this order, which expires on Monday 18 January 2027, anyone who attempts to enter this flat will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.
๐ฑAnyone with concerns about ASB or other criminality in their community, please contact us so we can act.
๐You can report anti-social behaviour by calling 101, contacting us via our website or sending a direct message to our Facebook or X social media pages.
