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
                 hand and the crowd was; dispersed after numerous
                 missiles were thrown at police and a number of
                 arrests were made. The group then hung around
                 and got on trains only to try and enter Progress
                 Way and the



                 The net result was at least 4 arrests for various
                 public order and one officer injured who
                  previous rave site. It was only large numbers of
                 TSG that prevented the group forcing their way in.
                 Again, Simon Cordell and his silver Focus were
                 present.
