Closure orders secured by Swindon Police

Swindon Police secured a closure order for Kubus Polski Sklep and the adjoining residential properties in Manchester Road.

The announcement follows the execution of a warrant earlier this week.
The order will be in place for three months, the maximum currently allowed by law, and means nobody but the people named on the order can enter the store and the adjoining flats.
Monday’s warrant execution saw £15,000-worth of illicit tobacco was seized from a residential premises above the store and a linked vehicle.
Two people who were arrested have since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
Swindon Central South Neighbourhood officer PC Kash Hamid said: “We are pleased that the court has granted the closure order today.
“This means both premises will remain closed until at least September, with a potential extension if there are grounds to do so, and any unauthorised entry during this period constitutes a criminal offence.
“Our teams will continue to patrol regularly in the area to ensure full compliance with the order.
“It remains vital that the public continues to report any concerns or information they have regarding suspected counterfeit or illicit goods.
“This allows us to utilise all available legal powers and we will continue to take effective and robust action to disrupt and eliminate this type of offending.”
