Wantage & Grove Closure Orders

📣 Wantage & Grove NHPT 📣

The public are the eyes and ears of our community. 
When something doesn’t look or feel right, your information can help protect vulnerable people and keep our neighbourhoods safe.

On 27/02, we secured a further Closure Order connected to a case of cuckooing.
Cuckooing is when criminals take over the home of a vulnerable person—often linked to drug dealing or exploitation—and use that address for their activity.
Those targeted may feel pressured, intimidated, or unable to refuse. Reporting concerns early helps us safeguard people at risk and disrupt this behaviour.

You can report concerns safely and anonymously:
•     Crimestoppers (for adults): https://crimestoppers-uk.org

•     Fearless (for young people): https://www.fearless.org

Fearless is the dedicated youth service of Crimestoppers. It allows young people to report crime or share concerns 100% anonymously, without giving their name, contact details, or any personal information. The site also provides clear, youth‑friendly information about different types of crime, exploitation, and how to stay safe. No one will ever know you made a report.

Your information—no matter how small—can help protect someone who may not be able to speak up for themselves.
