Three Leeds homes in Armley street sealed up by police as people banned from entering them

People are banned from entering three homes in Armley until April after orders were put in place following a “large scale of anti-social behaviour.”

West Yorkshire Police and the Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Team applied for a Premises Closure Order on the properties in Paisley Place.

The order which was been in place since January 4, 2022, prevents people “remaining, returning or entering” the affected houses until 4pm on April 4.

Anyone who enters the properties, which have been "sealed up," without permission from Leeds City Council or the Magistrates Court is breaking the law and could face arrest.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Following large scale the Anti-Social Behaviour, West Yorkshire Police and the Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Team applied for a closure order for three properties on Paisley Place, Armley.

“The Magistrates Court have granted a Premises Closure Order pursuant to section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

“The order states that properties included in the order will be closed to all persons for a period of three months from 4th January and all other persons are prohibited from remaining, returning or entering affected properties until 4pm on the 4th April.

“These premises have been sealed and no further entry to these premises is permitted.

"Any persons entering the premises without the permission of Leeds City Council or the Magistrates Court commits an offence and can be arrested.”
