Six arrests in connection with closure order breach

Six people have been arrested in connection with breaching a closure order in place at a flat in Peterborough city centre.

A 20-year-old man was arrested at 25B Lincoln Road on Wednesday morning (3 January) by our neighbourhood policing officers who were carrying out compliance checks at the flat after a partial closure order was served on it last month.

He has been charged with breaching a closure order, possession with intent to supply heroin and possession with intent to supply crack cocaine. He has been remanded in custody to appear at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court today (Friday).

Jessica Malpas, 34, of no fixed address, has been charged with breaching a closure order – she appeared at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Thursday) where she admitted the offence and was jailed for eight weeks.

A 37-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man were also arrested but released on bail until 2 April.

Two further arrests were made yesterday morning (Thursday) by officers carrying out compliance checks at the property again.

Two women, aged 31 and 45, have both been charged with breaching a closure order and are due to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on 19 January.

Further information about the closure order can be found on the news section of the force’s website.
