January 03, 2026

A closure order has been issued on a flat in the Hendon area which was linked to suspected crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour.

The measures mean no one except the tenant, the landlord and their agents, council officers or members of the emergency services can enter or remain at the premises.

Anyone who does so unlawfully is liable to be arrested.

Police officers became aware of issues at the flat in Hendon Valley Court after reports from members of the public.
