Police issue closure warning to Milton Keynes property

As a result of the continued and persistent work of the Thames Valley Police South Neighbourhood Policing Team, a Partial Closure Order has been granted by Milton Keynes Magistrates Court for a period of three months, on an address on Gaddesden Crescent, Wavendon Gate.

This is following repeated reports of Anti-Social Behaviour, drug use and other criminal activity emanating from the address and involving visitors at the address.

All of this has a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the local vicinity.
