Flat in Peterborough “closed” after complaints about drug use
The local Neighbourhood Policing Team carried out a warrant
Police in Peterborough have partially closed a flat in Millfield, following complaints about drug use and anti-social behaviour.
The local Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) carried out a warrant at Flat 3, Oxford Road, in Millfield, Peterborough, on 6 June, where they found 124 wraps of crack cocaine and 26 wraps of heroin.
A man and a woman, both 25 and from Peterborough, were arrested and later charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin, and are due to appear in court next month.
PC Olly Holmes, from Peterborough’s Eastern NPT, said: “We applied to the courts for a warrant on the flat in response to complaints from the local community about drug use, dealing, and associated ASB coming from the flat. Following this, we knew further action had to be taken to address these issues.
“Drug use and the associated criminality can have a significant impact on the local community, and I hope the work the team has done shows that we are listening and will continue to tackle the issues raised with us.”
