Closure orders can result in properties being boarded up for a specific amount of time or they can restrict who can visit.
South Yorkshire Police said: “The Burngreave team executed yet another drugs warrant in the area after some diligent work by officers over the last couple of weeks.
“While nobody was home to pop the kettle on for us, a number of items were seized and the property will be closed down by Sheffield City Council.

“If there is a property you know of that fits this description please don't hesitate to contact us.”
Meanwhile, as a police crackdown on drugs in Burngreave continues, officers dealt with a man for possession of crack cocaine after witnessing him buying drugs from a ‘known address’ this week.
They also arrested a suspect for possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply and burglary after spotting a man running away from another address known for drug activity.
