arrival in Millmarsh" Lane it was obvious that something was about to happen. There were a
number, of groups of teenagers who were milling around clearly looking for something.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he was not one of the people in question; neither did he take
part in any Anti-social behaviour, organising or should he be accountable for other people’s
actions.
Officer AAaron King States: After a brief search I noticed two metal gates next to the Greggs
Factory which suddenly closed as we passed them. We stopped and I got out and approached
the gates. Although dark, street lighting was on and I could see a male was using a chain and
lock to secure the gates.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he was not the person locking the gate and he did not have a
key as he was not an occupier of the land and that he was just a visitor. Who was sitting in his
car Ma57ldy parked next to the gates as the police arrived.
He could hear music coming from further inside.
There was no power source and the music was coming from a car related to the same land in
another warehouse owned by the same landlord as the land connected to this incident being
rented out.
Officer AAaron King States: Stood by the gate I immediately noticed an IC3 male who I
know to be Simon CORDELL. I recognised Mr. Cordell as I have previously spoken to him
recently at illegal raves where I have seen him setting up sound equipment and subsequently
taking it away.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he has nether been arrested or charged for illegal raves.
Officer AAaron King States: when confronted by Police...I explained to Mr. Cordell why we
were there, but he immediately denied it was a rave. Mr. Cordell stated first it was a private
conference but then said it was a birthday party.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he was there to have a conference with a friend who lived at
the premises at the same time another occupier of the land agreed to have a friend’s private
birthday party at the location, to no involvement of his own.
Officer AAaron King States: When asked about permission to be there he stated friends were
squatting on the land and they had said he could stay.

This is true.
Officer AAaron King States: I explained to Mr. Cordell that I needed to come onto the site to
see what was going on as for all I knew he could be damaging it or stealing from it.
Eventually after promising I would not remove anyone squatting and only myself and Pc
Ames would come in, Mr. Cordell agreed that we could come in.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he did get involved and speak to the police as they knew him
by name and had already chosen to involve him.
Officer AAaron King States: Near to the gate was a silver Ford Focus index MA57LDY
which I knew was Mr. Cordell's, -The boot was open, and I noticed it contained three large
thin industrial gas bottles. From experience I knew this was likely to contain nitrous oxide
which is currently used on the rave scene as a legal high. As we passed the car Mr. Cordell
quickly lowered the boot. I queried Mr. Cordell about the gas and pointed out that it was on
the news earlier how Nitrous oxide was dangerous and Mr. Cordell stated that the
Government would probably ban it soon like everything else.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he does remember talking to the police in regard to Nitrous
Oxide but at no point did he cause any Anti-Social Behaviour or was he breaking the Law.
Officer Aaron King States: Mr Cordell was polite and showed us around the site which
appeared to be a large concreted area that was completely open to the air.
