Thames Valley Police South East team has shut down a residential property in Littlemore, Oxford, Oxfordshire, following multiple reports of trouble. Officers enforced a closure order in March 2026 to stop ongoing issues that were making life difficult for the local community.

The police took action after neighbours reported persistent anti-social behaviour at the address. These reports included incidents of violence, public disorder, and concerns about drugs being used or sold at the house.

This legal order is designed to immediately halt criminal activity and restore safety to the street. By sealing the property, the police aim to provide reassurance to residents who have been impacted by the long-running problems.

The enforcement was a direct response to information provided by local people who were worried about the safety of their neighbourhood. These types of orders are used to protect residents and ensure that reports of neighbourhood disorder are dealt with firmly by law enforcement.
