On THURSDAY 24th JULY 2014 I was on duty in plain
clothes as operator of an unmarked police vehicle in company
with APS 212YE MARTIN, PC 151 YE ROBERTSON, and
PC 229YE O’NEILL. At around 1625 hours on Alma Road
EN3 we had cause to stop a silver Ford Focus vrm MA57LDY
due to the manner of its driving. The driver was a male I know
to be Simon CORDELL dob21/01/1981.1 know him as I have
dealt with on a number of previous occasions. He was initially
hostile about having been stopped, but once he had calmed
down, he engaged in conversation with us. He stated that he is
staying out of trouble now, and he does not get involved in
any of the things he used to. He stated that he has 4 brand new
speakers at home which are suitable for use at raves, but he
does not use them and has offered to lend them to any
"‘youngsters” to use. He went on to say that they are not
interested though as these days they just want to steal
everything. He said he gets inundated with requests to run
raves all the time, but he doesn’t get involved now. He claims
to have 20,000 followers on one social media site, and 70,000
on another. He said he could organise a rave and get 20,000
people at it with no problems whatsoever, and he gets requests
from anarchist type groups to run raves for them. He went on
to say that he had been asked by Occupy London, Black Block
and other anarchist type groups to run a rave at Notting Hill
Carnival for them so that they could cause carnage and
mayhem, but he had refused. Whilst on public order duty at
Notting Hill Carnival I saw Mr CORDELL walking through
the area I was deployed around TAVISTOCK ROAD. He was
pushing a wheelie bin, and he was approached by members of
a group of around 10-20 people who had been waiting at a
junction near our location. This group had been playing drum
and bass music and had told officers they were heading to an
event but were awaiting the location. It was somewhere
between 2200 - 2300 hours when I had seen the group, and Mr
Cordell.
