Manorbier raid after noise complaints
Council officers seized electrical equipment including three televisions when they swooped on a house in Manorbier. The raid - by Pembrokeshire County Council's Domestic Public Health team - followed alleged repeated breaches of a Noise Abatement Notice. The goods taken away also included two DVD players, a video recorder and a stereo system. The team used a warrant issued by the Magistrates Court to exercise their powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Noise Act 1996. The operation was a co-ordinated response by the Community Safety Partnership and also involved the Police and the Pembrokeshire Housing Association. The owners of the goods will now appear in court at a later date.
