from due to him leaving his keys at his address the last time he was there and his friend
needed them back."
A/Insp Hamill 201566 "Local authority noise team were contacted reference T548832. The
event was expected to run until 0700hrs on Saturday 7th June, with plans for the event to
continue again later in the evening on the 7th June. During the course of the shift we received
a total of calls from local residence complaining about the noise of the rave."
A/Insp Hamill 201566 "On Saturday 7th June 2014 I was again on duty in full uniform
working as the Borough's Duty Officer for the hours of 2200hrs to 0700hrs, as with the
previous evening I was made aware again of a Rave at an empty Warehouse of Progress
Way. As with the previous evening, I have posted officers to make regular visits to the venue
to access numbers, crowd dynamics and general intelligence around the event.
During the course of the number numbers at the event were around 300.
At 02:00hrs I have attended the venue with A/PS Miles and two environmental officers.
The entrance to the venue was located off progress way, down the side off "Tops Tiles". The
warehouse was at the bottom of this side road behind a metal gate, the gate padlock had been
removed and security officers were opening the gate to allow access. As Insp Hamill and
A/PS Miles and the EO have approached the gate they have closed the gate preventing us
access."
Mr Simon Cordell will state that for Inspector Hamill: To be able to state the gate padlock
had been removed.” By this statement made Inspector Hamill was this close to pay this much
attention to such an object as a pad lock on the gate, he then states a security officer was
opening the gate to allow access. Followed by them have closed the gate, with so many
people walking in and out of such numbers of 300 people in attendance Mr Simon Cordell
will state that he believes the inspector see Mr Simon Cordell and took his own believes.
A/Ins p Hamill 201566 "I have introduced myself and asked to speak with the event
organisers, to which a member of staff has disappeared into the venue and returned with a
male who I would describe as light skinned black male, Approximate age of 35, wearing a
white long sleeved t-shirt, grey bottoms. I recognized this male as Simon Cordell.
Inspector Hamill introduced himself and asked if we could speak at the bottom of the' road
where the noise levels would allow us to talk. We have all moved to the bottom of Progress
Way where I have introduced myself and explained the purpose of the visit and asked "It's
Simon isn't it?" to which he has replied "Yes" I have then further asked "Simon Cordell" to
which he has indicted that it was but not verbally confirmed the answer. I have introduced the
two EO's the Simon who have explained the purpose of their visit and the fact that they were
going to severe a noise abatement order, they have produced the paperwork and asked the
male for his name to which he has refused to provide his details,
It was explained that without the name of a person from the venue the EO's are unable to
serve the

paperwork. As we have been unable to progress this line of action, I have made the request to
Simon Cordell to turn the music down."
Mr Simon Cordell will state that Inspector Hamill: States he approached the gate and spoke
to security, but the police are not sure if they are security, the day before the people called
themselves as volunteers. The case is the police did not know who they were they could have
been security/volunteers or organisers. The police only believed Tyrone Benjamin and Simon
Cordell could have been the organisers, which is not the case.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that Inspector Hamill: Asked to speak to an organiser and has
said that a member of said staff disappeared into the occupied building. For a male Inspector
