A SECOND closure order has been granted at a residential property in Truro, making it illegal for anyone to set foot inside for an additional three months.

Located on St Thomas Close in Highertown, the property was issued with an initial three-month full closure order earlier in January. A further order was granted on March 31 2026, again banning the tenant and any visitors from entering the address for an additional three months to deter incidents from taking place.

Officers secured this new measure after police and residents noted a significant reduction in antisocial behaviour (ASB) while the initial closure order was in place.

The closure order was granted following an investigation carried out by the Truro Neighbourhood Police team and Cornwall Council’s ASB caseworker.

PC Richie Wilson said: “The property had been the cause of a number of issues for local residents in the area. It’s important that people feel safe and secure where they live, and the first order was really effective in helping to stop ASB and provide relief to local people.

“When there is a disruption to safety in an area, it’s important for us to take action to protect and safeguard the community from any harm or concern they experience.”

PC Wilson thanked those who had reported issues directly to Devon and Cornwall Police or via Crimestoppers. “I hope this shows just how vital their information is in helping us to secure orders like this to disrupt crime and antisocial behaviour in our local area,” he added.

Concerns regarding ASB can be reported to the police via the force website or anonymously via Crimestoppers. If a crime is taking place, call 999.
