By Hartlepool Alert

On Friday 22nd February 2019 members of the Hartlepool Community Safety Team attended Teesside Magistrates Court to apply for premises closure orders for two addresses in Wynyard Mews. This follows on from the day of action conducted in October 2018 and Operation Otley conducted in December 2018 where seven arrests were made and quantities of cash, drugs and stolen property were recovered. With the continued patience and support of local residents the Community Safety Team were granted closure orders for 62 and 64 Wynyard Mews by the courts. Acting Inspector Adrian Dack said, We have tried to tackle these issues with a low level approach, however due to the people involved, the continued criminal activity and the level of anti social behaviour we had to take a much more firm stance by executing warrants at a number of addresses. They still didnt listen to what the community had to say, that this wont be tolerated in any form, leaving us with no option but to apply to close these properties for at least the next 3 months. If they want to continue their behaviour wherever they move next, rest assured we will come after them again. For the next three months any persons entering the addresses are committing criminal offences and can be dealt with accordingly. Should you witness any persons breaching the closure orders you can report this to Cleveland Police by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency. If you wish to contact Hartlepool Borough Councils antisocial behaviour team you can do so on 01429 253100
