Chester city centre takeaway and sweet shop closed down by police
They have been shut for three months
Police have secured closure orders for a takeaway and a sweet shop in Chester city centre. The order comes after concerns were raised about criminal activity taking place at the adjoining sites - Pasha Kebab and Nova Sweet Shop.
To prevent any further offending, the closure orders means that the properties on Frodsham Street, Chester will remain shut for a period of three months. Anyone who enters either retailer while the order is in place could face a significant fine or even a prison sentence.
Chester LPU Commander, Chief Inspector Paul Fegan, said: “I hope that closing down these stores provides reassurance to the community and visitors to the local area that we listen to their concerns and take swift action. I would like to thank the community for supporting us with information as part of this work — all information about criminal activity assists us.
“Anyone with concerns about suspicious or criminal behaviour in their area can report it to Cheshire Police via the Cheshire Police website or by calling 101.”
