driver: this male however approached officers saying
                 he had been driving like that behind him since YR.
                 CORDELL was obstructive as usual, refusing to get
                 out of his vehicle etc. He stated that his solicitor has a
                 big case going where all his criminal records will be
                 wiped as Police have unlawfully picked on him for
                 years etc.
                 Of interest he stated that he has 4 brand new speaker
                 systems at home which he is happy to loan people for
                 raves etc and that he is inundated with requests to run
                 raves. He stated that he has 20,000 followers on one
                 social media network and 70,000 in another. He says
                 that he could organize a rave and get 20,000 people at
                 it without any problems whatsoever, and that he gets
                 lots of requests from anarchist type groups etc to run
                 raves for them. Of note he claims Occupy London,
                 Black Block and other anarchist groups have been
                 asking him to organize one for Notting Hill Carnival
                 so that they can "Cause carnage and mayhem".

                 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.
