Police have closed down a property in Camborne saying it had been causing "significant disruption and distress."

Although the exact location has not been given, it has been described as a "small, close-knit community" that had been affected by "ongoing anti-social behaviour emanating from the address."

Police in the town have now issued a closure order, which prevents anyone from entering the property other than the owner or their representative.

Failure to comply without reasonable excuse is an offence under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act, which can result in a prison term or fine.
