Information

On arrival at Millmarsh Lane there were
numerous young people milling around trying to
locate the rave which was eventually found on the
North footway just by the Greggs Factory. It was a
small strip of concrete completely open to the air
with a large amplified sound system at the far end
obstructed from view of the street by vegetation.
Simon Cordell was at the gate and immediately
shut it on police arrival. Eventually, Mr Cordell
agreed to let me and APS Ames onto the property
to confirm there was no damage or theft offences
being committed.
Simon Cordell's car a silver ford focus VRM
MA57LDY was present and contained at least
three massive nitrous oxide tanks. When queried
he admitted he had seen the news article about the
dangerous effects of this and how the Government
would probably regulate it.
There was about 30 people in so in discussion Mr
Cordell was told it was an illegal rave and I would
be seeking Supt authority to seize the sound
equipment. Mr Cordell began to pack away his
equipment stating it was a birthday party only, but
he was going.
Whilst stood waiting for him to leave a group of
about 100 teenagers turned up on mass and
immediately became confrontational stating, they
were going to storm the rave. As we had good
numbers the group initially dispersed but tried to
go via a back entrance to the venue which led to
arrests when scuffles with police started.
The group then completely moved off but returned
about twenty minutes later in even bigger
numbers. The situation quickly escalated as the
group started throwing cones and general road
furniture towards police, luckily dogs were on
