POLICE in North Cornwall are stamping down on antisocial behaviour in an effort to make our ‘communities a safer place to live’.

Policing teams in Launceston teamed up this week to take action against antisocial behaviour within the town. Working in partnership, Cornwall Council Anti-Social Behaviour Team and Launceston Neighbourhood Policing Team revealed that it successfully secured a Partial Closure Order for an address in Launceston following ‘numerous reports and complaints of antisocial behaviour.’

A Partial Closure Order is a legal measure that restricts access to a property, meaning that certain individuals are prohibited from entering or accessing the premises.

Police have emphasised that breaching the conditions of the order is a criminal offence and can result in arrest and prosecution.

A spokesperson from Launceston Police said: “This action demonstrates our continued commitment to tackling antisocial behaviour, addressing the concerns of local residents and making our communities safer places to live.”

The force has expressed its understanding of the impact that persistent antisocial behaviour can have on individuals, families and the wider community. As a result the the force has committed to continuing this work, taking action against the disruption.

The spokesperson continued: “We will continue to work alongside our partners to take appropriate action where necessary.”

“Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report concerns and provide information. Your reports really do make a difference.”
