Closure order granted for address in Luton after evidence of drug dealing discovered

A Closure Order has been granted for a property in Luton after an investigation found evidence it was being used for drug dealing.

Officers from the Community Enforcement Team (CET) conducted a warrant in Albert Road on Friday (29 October).

It was after the received intelligence it was being used by people selling and using drugs, despite the owner believing it was empty.

Police found needles and suspected class A and C substances at the address. Residents in the area also relayed concerns around people using the property and other anti-social behaviour.

Working alongside the owner of the address, officers successfully applied for a two-month closure order.

Anyone with information about drug dealing or other criminal activity can report it via the online reporting centre or by calling 101.
