**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.
