4. On 19th July 2014 at 2205 hours Police were called
to the Carpet Right show room on the A10 Great
Cambridge Road Enfield regarding a possible rave in
the empty premises. There was about 20 people inside
the premises with sound equipment which they were
about to set up. When officers arrived, they blocked
the front of the venue to stop anyone else getting in.
The main organiser was spoken to by Police. This
male was Simon CORDELL. He admitted to
organising the party and said he was expecting several
hundred people. Whilst dealing with CORDELL
Police were told that crowds were gathering outside
Southbury Road train station waiting to be told where
the rave was. After a long conversation with
CORDELL he was arrested to prevent a breach of the
peace and taken to Edmonton Police Station C/N
01YE3597/14 refers. As a result of his arrest the
people inside the venue all left. The music system was
loaded into a white van VRM PE52UHW. The owner
and driver of this vehicle was Elliot LAIDLER. He
stated it was the first time he had worked for
CORDELL. The van could not leave the car park as
the key for the padlocked gate could not be found.
However, after two hours the vehicle was able to leave
by driving over the pavement. CORDELL was
released at 0400 as a breach of the peace was no longer
likely to take place. Clearly CORDELL makes a living
by organising raves in North London. Of note is when
officers searched the car park after everyone had left,
they found a set of keys by the electronic steel shutters.
These keys opened the shutters to the premises and on
the key fob attached to the keys was a PIN number for
the alarm system. This is how youths gained entry to
the premises. It is possible that CORDELL has
obtained them via the security company or an ex-
employee.
