Bedfordshire Police have secured a THREE MONTH closure order for an address in Beckett Court.

The courts granted police the order a week ago and it means no-one will be allowed inside the property for three months. It also gives the housing company the chance to fully evict the tenant.

In a post on social media, officers said: “This property has been the source of anti-social behaviour and drug-related issues for a number of years but has only just come to our attention.

"We have taken swift action in the last two weeks, with a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant resulting in seven arrests from the property and drugs seized.

“This positive outcome is a result of intelligence gathering alongside close partnership working with BPHA and we hope the residents of Beckett Court now feel safer getting on with their day-to-day lives.”
