A property in Timperley has been shut down for three months following a police drugs warrant that led to four arrests.
Manchester Magistrates' Court issued a full closure order this week after Greater Manchester Police's Trafford South Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant at the Marshfield Road address on May 29th.
Three men and a woman remain on bail on suspicion of supplying class A drugs following the raid.
The closure order, secured in partnership with Trafford Council's Community Safety Team, prohibits access to the property except for the named tenant and authorised personnel including council officers, the landlord, police and emergency services.
Wayne Keron, 63, of Old Hall Road in Sale, has been charged with breaching the order and was remanded to appear at Manchester & Salford Magistrates' Court yesterday.
This marks the second closure order issued this month in the Trafford South area, following similar action against a property on Haydock Close in Gorse Hill after a warrant on May 19th. That raid resulted in the recovery of class B drugs and cash, with one male arrested and subsequently bailed pending further enquiries.
Inspector Colin Dytor said: "We will continue to tackle the issues that are important to our communities in partnership with Trafford Council.
"We have a number of tools at our disposal to tackle community crime like drug dealing, ASB and theft including the courts, behaviour orders and house closures, and will use them where appropriate.
"This action sends a clear message that we will not tolerate people using properties for serious criminal activity.
"We will take action against anyone who is a blight on our communities - anybody who has any information or concerns regarding ongoing crime within their community should contact GMP on 101 or via the reporting tools on our website."
Councillor Rose Thompson, Trafford Council's Executive Member for Communities and Safety, said: "We are pleased to have been able to work together with our partners at Greater Manchester Police to bring this matter to court and restore peace and safety to the area.
"This is a great example of ward councillors, community safety officers and the police working together to listen to local people and support this neighbourhood."
