A neighbour from hell who blighted her quiet street with violence, death threats, drugs and uncontrolled dogs has been thrown out of her house.

Jairani Jasmin, 32, "made life a misery" for families in Milton Road, Broad Green, leaving some so tired and stressed they could not go to work. 

She was forced to leave last week, two-and-a-half years after moving to the street. 

One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "When I first met Miss Jasmin, it seemed as though she was a quiet person and kept herself to herself.

"This soon became a distant memory as Miss Jasmin started having visitors to her property at all hours of the night. 

"On a number of occasions we were disturbed by noise from Miss Jasmin and visitors getting drunk and taking drugs. I know this because, on many occasions, they would have arguments about who took what drugs and people would swear at her when they were leaving the property."

Other neighbours described blazing rows, during day and night, between Jasmin and her partner Keith Galvin.

One argument ended with Galvin being arrested and taken away in a police van. He was later issued with a non-molestation order preventing him from contacting Jasmin or entering Milton Road.

In April last year, Jasmin signed an acceptable behaviour contract and was warned by police and Croydon Council that breaches would lead to further action. 

But despite Jasmin promising there would be no further trouble, but the problems continued. 

The council secured an anti-social behaviour premises closure order at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. It forbids anybody from entering the property for three months.

Coun Mark Watson, cabinet member for safety and justice, said: "This is a truly horrendous case which made life little short of a misery for the neighbours of Jai Jasmin.

"As a responsible landlord with a duty of care to all its tenants, Croydon Council simply will not stand for such awful and sustained antisocial behaviour.

"People should be aware that we will act in such cases and, if there is no evidence of improved behaviour, will seek the ultimate sanction of seeking possession of the property."
