Police have temporarily closed a property in the town due to it being linked to anti-social behaviour.

The order was secured for an address in the South Street area on Thursday after Weymouth Magistrates' Court served a three month closure notice under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

Police have the powers to close premises involved in drugs activity or anti-social behaviour

A spokesman for Bridport Police said: "Local officers have been working to secure the order following repeated reports of anti-social behaviour linked to the premises.

"The order prohibits access to the property for anyone apart from the current occupier or anyone approved by police.

"Anyone who has concerns about anti-social behaviour in their community is urged to contact Dorset Police at dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or call us on 101."
