West Midlands Police have closed a property in Coventry following concerns of anti-social behaviour and drug dealing.

On 25 August - as part of Operation Advance - officers carried out a number of reports of drug usage and dealing happening at the address on Rollason Road.

When officers attended the scene, a large amount of drug paraphernalia was found.

A week later, a full closure order was secured, making it an offence for anyone to enter until the end of November - the property is no fully sealed meaning nobody can gain access.

Chief Inspector Daryl Lyon said: "We are continuing to take action wherever and whenever we receive reports of anti-social behaviour and crime.

"We would again urge anyone concerned about this kind of activity where they live to get in touch with us and let us know."
