Police have shut down a house in Gosport following rampant drug use and anti-social behaviour.

The force said the address will be blocked off for three months following work from the Gosport Neighbourhoods Central Team and Gosport Borough Council housing team.

They added: “This follows many months of drug related anti-social behaviour at the address which the residents took no action to stop. The impact on the neighbours should not be underestimated and this closure will bring them some respite.

“We are working hard with our partners to rid Gosport of drugs and the issues around it, if you have any information that will help please report it online via the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary website.”
