Columbus and Nottingham Police Shut Down Drug Properties

Columbus authorities have successfully shut down a drug house on Orel Avenue following months of investigation and community complaints, marking the second property on the street to be closed in six months due to similar issues. The Property Action Team secured a court order after police observed significant drug-related activity, including heavy foot traffic and multiple arrests linked to the location. City Attorney Zach Klein emphasized the ongoing commitment to address drug houses, which degrade neighborhood quality of life. In a related effort in Columbus County, North Carolina, law enforcement dismantled a mother-and-son drug operation after a coordinated investigation revealed narcotics activity at their residence. Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire Police have also acted against a property in Hyson Green linked to drug dealing and anti-social behavior, securing a closure order to protect community safety. These actions reflect a broader push by law enforcement to tackle drug-related crime and improve community well-being.
