A HOUSE that has blighted a community in Runcorn has been closed for three months. This followed a large number of reports of drug dealing and anti-social social behaviour involving the address in Brookvale, which Cheshire Police has chosen not to disclose. There have been reports of a large number of people coming and going at all hours and violent incidents at the house, some of which have spilled out onto the streets. There have also been reports of members of the community being subjected to threatening and intimidating behaviour from people linked to the address. Granted by Warrington Magistrates Court Wednesday, the closure order makes it a crime for anyone other than the landlord to be at the house over the next three months.
A HOBBY breeder has been banned from owning or looking after dogs for five years after a woman was bitten while walking down the street. Damien Firth was tasked with looking after Apollo, an American bulldog, while the dog’s owner was in prison. But the canine attacked a woman and her small dog who were walking past his Callands home after the 33-year-old left his garden gate unlocked. Firth, of Granston Close, appeared to be sentenced at Warrington Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to a charge of being in charge of dangerously out of control dog which caused injury.
