Police also gave a 22-year-old man a community resolution for possessing cannabis.

PC Callum McGarvie, from the NPT, said: "In addition to the warrant, we knew further action had to be taken in response to community reports of anti-social behaviour originating from the shop.

"We are listening to those affected by these issues, and I encourage them to report any potential breaches to us."

The three-month order bans everyone from entering except the landlord, authorised contractors and emergency services.

Breaking the order is a criminal offence punishable by up to three months in prison, a fine or both.
