A spokesman for Adur and Worthing Police said the closure order, under the Anti Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014, was heard before the courts and served on Thursday, April 4.

The order means that only a select few are allowed in the address for the next three months and if people who are not allowed in the address are located inside they will be arrested.
