Closure order secured on Swindon property for drug-related anti-social behaviour

A closure order has been granted for an address on Albion Street after police officers from the Fortitude Team spotted suspicious activity resulting in two males being arrested.
One male was arrested for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and another for being concerned in the supply of Class B Drugs.
Investigations continue however a closure order was granted by the magistrates court on the Flat which allows access to the registered occupants only for a period of 3 months.
Any other person found attending the property is liable to immediate arrest.
PC Finning from the Fortitude Team says ‘Our presence in the area was no coincidence and was a direct result of calls made by the public. Whilst some may not see the point in calling their concerns into us, every report helps build a picture of where we need to be and when.’
‘If you have concerns that someone you know might be a victim of cuckooing then please report this to the police.’
‘We use this community intelligence as a key tool in targeting drug dealers, ensuring they are arrested and drugs seized, tackling anti-social behaviour and safeguarding the vulnerable.’
