Home associated with repeated crime subject to partial closure order

A HOME in Amesbury has been placed under a three-month partial closure order after ongoing concerns about anti-social behaviour and drug use.

Police have been repeatedly called to the property in Haragon Drive amid fears of cuckooing vulnerability at the address and known offenders staying there.

Officers from Amesbury Police attended Salisbury Magistrates’ Court yesterday, where the order was granted following several months of evidence gathering in partnership with Abri Housing Association.

A police spokesperson said the closure order will remain in force until May 3, 2026, with the option to extend it for a further three months if required.

Under the conditions of the order, the only people permitted to enter the property are the single adult named on the tenancy, their mother and son, emergency services and Abri Housing Association employees or contractors.

Copies of the order have been affixed to both the front and rear access points of the address.

Officers also attended the property yesterday to enforce the order and ensure the tenant was safeguarded, with support provided by Amesbury Baptist Centre Food Pantry.

Police will now carry out regular and unannounced checks at the address over the coming months.

Anyone who enters or remains at the premises without permission will be committing an offence and may be arrested. If convicted, they could face imprisonment and/or a fine.

Any suspected breaches of the order should be reported immediately to Wiltshire Police via 999, quoting reference number 54260002529.
