In a joint operation alongside Trading Standards, officers applied for – and were successful – in being granted a three-month closure order for the business.
The order will last until midnight on 29 October.
Inspector Neil Kirkpatrick, from Birmingham Police, said: “We received numerous complaints about this store, and we worked with partners including Trading Standards to take decisive action.
“The order will hopefully provide relief to the community and help serve as a deterrent to any other businesses which may be involved in criminality.
“PC Batchelor, along with the Moseley and Kings Heath Neighbourhood Team have been committed to securing this outcome for the community they serve, which is an example of the importance of neighbourhood policing.”
