On Thursday, July 3, Chard Neighbourhood Police Team officers alongside Stonewater Housing Association evicted the resident of a property in Silver Street, Chard.
A police spokesperson said: “The tenant and others associated with the property have been causing significant harassment, alarm and distress to the local residents through their antisocial behaviour, drug use and criminal damage.”

Metal sheeting has also been placed across the windows to prevent anyone from accessing the property.
Police said: “The tenant will not be allowed to return, except to get his belongings in the company of Stone water.
“We would like to thank the community for their patience whilst we secured this eviction. It has been a long process, one that is mandated by processes and our court system.
“We believe this is going to see a significant reduction in crime and ASB in the area and provide the residents with peace and security.”
