PARTIAL closure orders have been placed on two properties in Wrexham following reports of persistent anti-social behaviour.

North Wales Police confirmed that the closures had been put in place on a flat on Llangollen Road, Trevor and the other on Ffordd Llanerch, Penycae.

The bans are in place for the next three months and means nobody other than the occupiers can go inside. Those who do will be arrested.

The orders were granted at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Monday, November 11.

Sergeant Emma Watts said: “Closure orders are a valuable tool to tackle anti-social behaviour, and we hope this action brings reassurance to residents living nearby, who have experienced significant disturbance because of previous incidents at these addresses.

“We want these closures to be a message to such individuals that we will not tolerate this kind of behaviour.

“Officers have the power to enter either premises any time they think the order is being breached.

“Any such breach will be robustly enforced, any person found unlawfully within will be arrested and will have to explain to the court why they think it appropriate to defy the order.”
