Two flats in St Margaret's Green have been served with closure notices as police crack down on anti-social behaviour and suspected drug dealing in central Ipswich.
Why it matters: The enforcement action is part of an ongoing problem-solving initiative by Ipswich Central CPT and the Kestrel Team to tackle anti-social behaviour connected to residential flats in the area.

The details: Officers issued closure notices to two individual dwellings, preventing anyone except named residents from entering the properties for 24 hours.
Six individuals were required to leave the premises immediately.
Two people were also issued Community Protection Warning Letters regarding their conduct at the block and in the town centre.
What they're saying: "We hope this sends a message to those who cause nuisance for their neighbours through antisocial behaviour and drug dealing activity," Ipswich Police said.

What's next: The CPT team warned they will seek permanent closure orders through the Magistrate Court if the disruptive behaviour continues.
The bottom line: Residents affected by disruptive neighbours or who suspect drug dealing activity can report incidents via the Suffolk Police website or anonymously through Crimestoppers on #1811.
