CLOSURE orders have been enforced on various properties in Colchester.
Police officers have issued "quite a few" closure orders on properties around the town recently.
A closure order was obtained on Sunday due to "violent incidents and anti-social behaviour" at an address.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "This is all thanks to the great relationship the community team have with our partners at Colchester Borough Homes and the hard work of both teams
"Another community safeguarded and given respite from those not willing to engage or change behaviour."
