A house in Fleetwood has been closed by police following persistent anti-social behaviour and criminality.

The property, on Kemp Street, has been linked to numerous reports of noise nuisance, drug activity and physical violence, said Lancashire Police.

The force has been granted a closure order by magistrates, meaning anyone seen entering or leaving the house during the next three months faces arrest.

Sgt Andy Ward said: "The property was causing persistent disturbances for neighbours, and these actions are not tolerated. Our teams will continue to collaborate with partners in the area to ensure anti-social behaviour and other criminality is not welcome here in Fleetwood."
