Police have slammed the lid on two properties notorious for antisocial behaviour and drug trouble in Mansfield and Meden Vale. Court orders now ban anyone from entering these homes for three months, with offenders facing criminal charges.
Netherfield Lane Property Closed After Resident Outcry
The crackdown began on Monday, 24 July, when Nottingham Magistrates’ Court approved a closure order for a house on Netherfield Lane, Meden Vale. Locals had repeatedly reported antisocial behaviour, prompting multiple police visits. The very next day, a 43-year-old man was arrested inside the property on suspicion of a public order offence.
Mansfield House Raided, Drugs Seized, and Closure Enforced
On Friday, 28 July, officers secured another closure order for a property on Layton Avenue, Mansfield. A raid uncovered a significant stash of Class A drugs. A 43-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of drug possession with intent to supply and later bailed.
The Mansfield home had been plagued with complaints about antisocial behaviour and drug-related disorder, stirring unrest among neighbours.
Police Issue Stark Warning to Troublemakers
“These properties had become well-known for antisocial behaviour and disorder,” said Inspector Kylie Davies, district commander for Mansfield. “We were regularly called to incidents. It was an absolutely intolerable situation impacting the community.”
“Thanks to strong evidence and partnership work, the courts have granted these closure orders. I hope this sends a clear message to those who disrupt our communities. Even if you haven’t committed a criminal offence yet, we will work with partners to build a case and remove you.”
