A COLCHESTER brothel has been closed and the resident evicted.
The brothel, in Claremont Heights, Colchester, was identified by residents concerned about behaviour at a flat.
Colchester's neighbourhood policing team gathered information and a 62-year-old Madam has been cautioned and since left the property.
Sgt Sue Richardson said: "Acting on initial information, we quickly gathered further intelligence so that within 24 hours of receiving that call, our officers attended the address on July 14 and arrested the tenant of the property.”
As a condition of the caution, she was ordered to cease her tenancy by August 4.
She has since left the property.
