A CLOSURE order has been granted against a property in Moretonhampstead following reports of anti-social behaviour.

Over the past few months, officers from the Rural Teignbridge policing team have been dealing with an issue of anti-social behaviour in the moorland town.

As such, the team successfully applied for a Partial Closure Order at the address.

The order, granted by a Magistrate, lasts for three months and means that only certain persons named on the order can access the property; any other visitors will be committing a criminal offence by entering.

The Rural Teignbridge Neighbourhood Policing Team has said it will ‘work tirelessly with residents’ in its attempts to curb long term anti-social behaviour.
