A takeaway in Peterborough has been closed by police after concerns about drug dealing and anti-social behaviour. 

Peterborough Magistrates' Court issued a three-month order closing Bake Me 1, Gladstone Street, in Millfield, on Tuesday (July 21).

The closure order, which runs until October 21, was issued after an application by the Central Neighbourhood Policing Team.

It followed concerns raised by local officers about drug dealing activity and anti-social behaviour.

Last year, two men from Peterborough were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug and were released on bail.

An investigation remains ongoing.

PC Chris Ogden said: "Drug dealing and associated anti-social behaviour can cause misery for local communities.

"Closure orders provide respite for local people who have been affected by these issues.

"I urge anyone with information about potential breaches to report it to us so we can ensure the order is adhered to and the issues are addressed."
