Bradshaw was convicted of keeping a brothel at a nearby flat

Natalie Bradshaw, 28, is alleged to have used the flat at Union Grove as a brothel.

She was previously convicted of keeping a brothel at a nearby flat and was sentenced to nine months probation, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard.

Police said they found whips and paddles at the latest address. She has been banned for three months.

Grampian Police said neighbours had been enduring noise and safety fears.

Bradshaw did not turn up to the hearing and the case called against her without representation.

Papers lodged at Aberdeen Sheriff Court stated two residents had moved out of their properties "as a result of the activities on the premises".

The court heard how CCTV footage on the flat observed a number of men calling every day for up to an hour.

'Welcome peace'

Sheriff Douglas Cusine said: "On the basis of the information presented and the documents lodged previously I will grant a closure order for three months from today."

Grampian Police said: "The distress and harm caused to the residents surrounding this particular premises has been considerable.

"Today's successful outcome is the culmination of many months of evidence gathering by officers and close liaison with our partners in Aberdeen City Council.

"However none of this would have been possible without the willingness of the residents to come forward and make their voices heard."

Councillor Martin Greig, chair of Aberdeen Community Safety Partnership and vice convenor of Grampian Joint Police Board said: "The closure of premises order will bring welcome peace and stability to the law-abiding people in the area.
