family friend Jamie Duffy who has housing difficulty’s and lives at all my
family’s addresses and helps out where needed due to health problems my
family has.
In respect of the 07th June 2014 at a Warehouse on Progress Way in Enfield; I
had been having a family drink in the pub/hall with my cousin D Edwards his
leaving party went from the 07/06/2014 till the early hours on the 08/06/2014. I
had arranged to drop a friend’s locker keys off to him, I left the pub/hall to go
and visit my friend who was residing at Progress Way. I accept that I was
approached by members of the police, he asked me my name and my details,
and I did not reply to him. He asked me to follow him back to where I had just
come from, which was where my car was parked along the Great Cambridge
Road. I did what he asked. I felt like I was being accused of organising a rave,
which I had not done. I then waited in the petrol station a cross the road for my
friend so that I could give him his locker keys back. I then left and went back
home. I was not involved in organising any event at a Warehouse on Progress
Way. At no point was any of my sound equipment used for this event or did I
cause any anti-social behaviour on the 7th June 2014.
I was not present at any event on Progress Way on the 8th June 2014. I was at
my mother’s house with my mother, Lorraine Cordell and my Nan, Sister Deon
Benjamin, and a family friend, Jamie Duffy.
On the 20th June 2014 I am alleged to have been involved in the organisation
of and/or supplied equipment for and/or attended an illegal rave at 1 Falcon
Park, Neasden Lane, NW10. I had been contacted and asked if I would hire a
sound system out for a gentleman’s birthday party. I agreed to do so, and the
sound system and a van were collected from my house. My terms and conditions
were signed, and a deposit was given to me. I exhibit the terms and conditions
and a copy invoice in respect of the transaction as exhibit SC/18. I received a
phone call at 1am in the morning by a client who said that the sound system was
being seized, and that the police were in attendance. I remember getting up and
attending at around 1am to 2am. It took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to attend. I
remember there being lots of members of the police present when approaching
the address, I had been given. I parked my car and approached the police at the
doors and spoke to the police officers I explained and showed the invoice and a
copy of my terms and conditions of hire. I was allowed entry to pack the sound
system away, and it was explained to me that it was being confiscated. I was
allowed to collect the sound system from the police at a later date. I never
returned the sound system to the client as he had breached my terms and
conditions. I did not knowingly supply equipment for an illegal party. I did not
cause any Anti-Social Behaviour on the 20th June 2014
