Fishponds flat slapped with closure order after links to drugs and antisocial behaviour

Avon and Somerset Police have issued a temporary closure order on a property in Bristol following reports of suspected crime and antisocial behaviour earlier this year.

Bristol Magistrates' Court heard evidence of criminality and anti-social behaviour linked to the flat in Wharf Road, Fishponds, between March and August 2022. The force also reported in a 'prevention' statement on Tuesday (November 8) that they received a 'number of messages from community members concerned about what was happening' at the address.

Over the summer officers carried out a warrant at the flat and found evidence suggesting drugs were being used by people entering the property. In the statement Avon and Somerset Police added that despite attempts by the property's owner, they needed to step in to help 'resolve the situation.'
