🚔 Closure Order Secured for Premises Being Used as a Brothel

🚔 Closure Order Secured for Premises Being Used as a Brothel

Officers from the Kings Cross Safer Neighbourhood Team have successfully obtained and executed a Closure Order on a flat in Loxham House that was being used as a brothel.

Following an application at Highbury Magistrates' Court, a Closure Order was granted under Part 2A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The order was secured as a result of ongoing work to address criminality and concerns affecting the local community.

Immediately after the court hearing, officers attended the address and carried out enforcement action. The premises have now been secured and boarded up, and the relevant local authority has been informed.

This action has brought an end to criminal activity taking place at the location and forms part of our ongoing commitment to tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG), anti-social behaviour, and organised criminality within the ward.

We would like to thank residents and partner agencies for their support and information, which helps us take positive action to keep our neighbourhoods safe.

If you have concerns about crime or anti-social behaviour in your area, please continue to report them to police. In an emergency always call 999, otherwise report via 101 or online at www.met.police.uk.
