Preston’s Neighbourhood Policing Team and Prosper Partnership Team have secured a three-month partial closure order at a problem address.
The address, on Dodgson Road, St Matthews, has been involved in a number of incidents involving anti-social behaviour.
Officers saw the order granted at Preston Magistrates Court last week (9th January 2026) under section 80 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, and closures are now active for three months which prohibits anyone, who isn’t the registered occupant, from accessing or entering the address.
PC Jake Davies from the Prosper Partnership Team said: “We welcome the result of the order on this property that was causing concern in the local community.
“This behaviour won't be tolerated, and this action demonstrates that we will take the appropriate action to safeguard people and deal with criminality.”
Op Centurion is a county-wide crackdown on anti-social behaviour, led by Lancashire Constabulary and backed by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw, delivering his priority of getting tough on anti-social behaviour, with the support of partners.
