Officers have reported back that Tyrone Benjamin and Simon Cordell where at location and
to be the believed the event organisers, there were approximately 200 people in attendance,
the event was covered by security officers who had stated that they were volunteers and not
licensed through SIA. Officers have spoken with staff to confirm that all fire escapes where
clear, that there were sufficient fire extinguishers in place and that there were first aid kits
available."
Mr Simon Cordell will state; “that this incorrect and not to be true as his brother had
medical injuries stopping him from being mobile or transported. Evidence will be supplied.
Mr Simon Cordell will state that he was not in attendance to attend any rave in fact he was
dropping keys to a friend as they had been left at his address when he was there last."
A/Insp Hamill 201566 states; "Police Officers have reported back:
Mr Simon Cordell will state; The police sent by inspector Hamill reported back to him and
said they had spoken to Security officers at the gate of progress way, who stated that they
were volunteers not security as believed by police offices. "Who made this statement?"
If they were believed by police officers to be security, but had said they were volunteers,
what makes the police sure beyond reasonable doubt that the people in question presented to
be security acting as volunteers could have in fact off been the organisers. As Mr Simon
Cordell will state that he was not the organiser neither did he hire any sound equipment, nor
did he take part in any form of organization on the 6th 7th 8th June 2014 or act in an Anti-
Social Manner. In the new skeleton argument, the inspector clearly states that he now trusts
the security guards when officers state that they believed they were security but said they
were volunteers and looked like party goers.
A/Insp Hamill 201566 states; "Police Officers have reported back: Staff was forthcoming
with information but refused to allow offices inside the venue."
Mr Simon Cordell will state; "As stated they never believed the information provide by said
staff at the gates of progress way to be true, as it was believed the security was to be
presenting them self's as volunteers, so why would any information provided to officers can
be classed and stated as forthcoming be classed as to be true, if not believed to be true by the
person writing the statement in the beginning, as said by police officers, the people at the gate
also refused to allow police officers inside the venue."
A/Insp Hamill 201566 states; "Due to call demand during the shift and low policing numbers
it was inappropriate to enter the premises to seize the equipment and close the event, but he
deployed officers to conduct regular visits to the venue, where number at their peak where
500 but reported to be quiet and peaceful."
Mr Simon Cordell will state; “that he was not involved in any event or Anti-Social
Behaviour on the 6th 7th 8th June2014, he only went to drop some keys off to a friend that he
had a call from due to him leaving his keys at his address the last time he was there and his
friend needed them back."
A/Insp Hamill 201566 states; "Local authority noise team were contacted reference T548832.
The event was expected to run until 0700hrs on Saturday 7th June, with plans for the event to
continue again later in the evening on the 7th June. During the course of the shift we received
a total of calls from local residence complaining about the noise of the rave."
A/Insp Hamill 201566 states; "On Saturday 7th June 2014 I was again on duty in full uniform
working as the Borough's Duty Officer for the hours of 2200hrs to 0700hrs, as with the
previous evening I was made aware again of a Rave at an empty warehouse of Progress Way.
As with the previous evening, I have posted officers to make regular visits to the venue to
access numbers, crowd dynamics and general intelligence around the event.
During the course of the number numbers at the event were around 300.
At 02:00hrs I have attended the venue with A/PS Miles and two environmental officers.
