A three-month closure order has been issued on a property in Tidworth to address ongoing issues of anti-social behaviour and suspected drug activity.

Wiltshire Police secured the order on July 3 for an address at Collins Court, following repeated reports linking the property to drug use and public disturbances.

Officers said 21 incidents and intelligence reports had been logged since March 2026.

PC Kinge said: "In the last three months alone, police have been called to the address for a number of matters – many of which are linked to drug use, with various known drug dealers visiting the property.

"The anti-social behaviour and public order incidents are causing concern for those living nearby and this will not be tolerated."

The order was granted by Salisbury magistrates and means that nobody other than the occupant and those named on the order, such as emergency services and housing association representatives, can enter the property.

Anyone found doing so will be committing an offence and may be arrested.

PC Kinge said: "The closure order will hopefully help put a stop to these problems and we will continue to monitor it by regular patrols to ensure the terms of the order are being adhered to.

"If the problems do not ease, we will work with the Housing Association to find a longer term solution."

Police encourage residents to report concerns involving anti-social behaviour or suspected drug activity by calling 101.
