A convenience store was ordered to close for three months after a catalogue of anti-social behaviour connected with the premises.
The International Mini Market, in Warrington, was also found to be selling counterfeit cigarettes and tobacco after it was raided by police.
Complaints had been received about youths pestering people to buy them tobacco products from the Orford Lane convenience store, and verbally abusing those who refused.
There were also reports of groups of people loitering around the shop and dangerous parking on the road because of the amount of people going to the premises.
When police raided the premises on Tuesday (May 18), they seized around 4,000 counterfeit cigarettes and around 40 packs of counterfeit tobacco.
A 48-hour closure notice was imposed on the store, and yesterday (Thursday) Warrington magistrates court granted an application for a three-month closure order.
Inspector Danny Haddock, of Warrington Local Policing Unit (LPU) said: "This is the fourth closure order imposed on premises in Orford Lane in recent months.
"It is all part of an investigation into anti-social and criminal behaviour in Orford Lane that has led to some businesses in the street closing down and some residents wanting to move away.
"After the initial closure orders were imposed, we continued to receive reports of intimidating and threatening behaviour from both adults and young people in Orford Lane.
"There were reports of young people pestering people to buy tobacco products from the convenience store for them and verbally abusing those who refused, groups of people loitering around the shop and dangerous parking on the road due to the amount of people going to the premises.
"People living and working in the area should not have to put up with such behaviour that has a detrimental effect on your quality of life."
He added: "The latest closure order makes it illegal for anyone to be at the new International Mini Market for the next three months, and we will continue to take action against those who engage in criminal activity and fuel anti-social behaviour in our communities.
"I hope that the action we have taken in Orford Lane encourages members of the Warrington community to inform us of any concerns they have regarding criminal or anti-social behaviour where they live or work."
If anyone is found to have breached a closure order they are liable to be arrested and face up to six months in prison, an unlimited fine or both.
Sergeant Alex Reeves, who applied for the closure order on behalf of the Warrington Problem Solving Team, said: "Not only does the sale of counterfeit tobacco products harm legitimate businesses, and society in general due to no tax being paid for them, it is also dangerous.
"Those who buy such products don't know what is in them and what the money they have paid will be used for."
