nuisance and the number of individuals that come into
the area. These raves are usually poorly run and cause
damage not only to the buildings being used but to the
environment. The properties being used for such
events are commonly disused buildings; the organisers
have no idea as to whether these buildings are safe.
Recently there have been a number of deaths at raves;
the most recent was a young 15-year-old male who
died at a Rave in Croydon which was believed to be
attended by around 2000 revellers. Raves are
notorious for drugs being present. These illegal events
have a huge impact on Police. Officers are called to
the venues and also there are a huge number of calls
from members of the public and residents
complaining. This type of illegal event cannot be
tolerated, and action must be taken to disrupt these
events and if a court order is not granted then Simon
CORDELL is free to continue to organise such events.
Simon CORDELL has openly admitted to officers that
he runs such events and has even bragged about it to
Police.
