Anti-social Behaviour

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) can be devastating for victims and communities.

Officers from the Boscombe Neighbourhood Policing Team, working alongside Anti-Social Behaviour Officers from BCP Council, have successfully secured a full closure order on an address in Knole Road. The address had been linked to ongoing anti-social behaviour, drug use and other criminal activity that was having a significant impact on the local community.  A closure order makes it an offence for unauthorised individuals to enter the property, with anyone breaching the order liable to arrest.

This action helps disrupt further criminality and anti-social behaviour associated with the addresses. This result has been achieved through the hard work and dedication of police officers, council staff and our partners, with the order granted by the local court following evidence gathered over time from the community. We remain committed to working closely with residents and partner agencies across Boscombe and Springbourne, taking a collaborative approach to tackling crime, reducing anti-social behaviour and making our communities safer for everyone. Please continue to report incidents to us. The information you provide helps us take action where it is needed most.
