The Bedfordshire Police Op Sentinel team then attended a court hearing on Thursday, and a three month closure order was put at the location by the judge.
PC Hollie Nicholson, from Op Sentinel, said: “We are really happy with the closure notice, it shows our commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour and related crime in the area.
“We also want to encourage residents to come forward with information and report anti-social behaviour and other crimes to the police.”
