Continuation of Statement of Steve

Tick if witness evidence is visually recorded
(supply witness details on rear)

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
there 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 the
completely moved off but returned about 20 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 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. Eventually, the group
began to move off. The net result was at least 4
arrested for various public order and one officer
injured why may require a stitch or two to his arm.
Simon CORDELL's attitude is that he is a modern
day businessman and the actions of the group had
nothing to do with him. It was fortunate more officers
were not injured.
