A drug den in the woods has been shut down by neighbourhood wardens and partner authorities after the area was plagued by anti-social behaviour.
A den was found in the woods at Frosterley, near Stanhope, County Durham, after concerns were raised about antisocial behaviour from minors and adults.
Durham County Council Neighbourhood Wardens South said: "SW 131 has been working with landowners and partner agencies to have this den removed after concerns were received about associated anti-social behaviour concerning both adults and minors.
"Links have been made with Homeless Services to ensure anyone in need is receiving support.
"To report any issues of anti-social behaviour please call 03000 260000 or use the online reporting system www.durham.gov.uk/doitonline."
