Two men arrested on suspicion of breaching partial closure order in Basingstoke

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Antisocial Behaviour, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of breaching a partial closure order in Basingstoke.

Earlier this month, officers presented Basingstoke Magistrates Court with evidence of drug use and ASB at the property on St Patrick’s Road.

A partial closure order was granted, meaning that no-one other than the people on the court order are allowed to enter or remain at the address for the next three months.

Officers attended the property at around 4.30am today (29 October) and arrested two men.

A 35-year-old man of no fixed abode and a 24-year-old man from Basingstoke have been arrested on suspicion of remaining on / entering a premises in contravention of a closure order. They remain in custody while our enquiries continue.

Tackling anti-social behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 aims to put victims first, giving power to local people and enabling professionals to find the best solutions for their local area. 

The act provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour. 

These include: 

• civil injunctions. 

• criminal behaviour orders. 

• public spaces protection orders. 

• community protection notices. 

• dispersal powers. 

• closure powers.

The act also includes measures such as the Community Remedy and anti-social behaviour case reviews which empower victims and communities to have a say in the outcome of their reports and hold agencies to account.
