A man living next to a drug den in Nottingham said he "has smelt weed before" as the property has now been boarded up by police. The force said the address in Phoenix Close, The Meadows, became a magnet for criminal activity and blighted the lives of nearby residents.
Officers boarded up the house and evicted the tenant on Thursday, April 13 and successfully applied for a closure order at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court. This means it an offence for anyone to enter or remain on the premises with the exception of emergency services, the landlord or authorised representative.
John Colebrooke, a retired resident living nearby, said: "We have smelt weed here in the past. Police went there in the past.
