The property in Jackson Street will be closed for three months after the order was granted by Loughborough Magistrates.

Coalville Police confirmed the move on social media on Friday afternoon.

They said: "A closure order was granted at Loughborough Magistrates court yesterday for an address on Jackson St, Coalville, lasting for three months.
