Working together for a safer London

On arrival at millmarsh Lane there were numerous young people milling around trying to
locate the rave which was eventually found on the North footway just by the Greggs
Factory. It was a small strip of concrete completely open to the air with a large amplified
sound system at the far end obstructed from view of the street by vegetation.
Simon Cordell was at the gate and immediately shut it on police arrival. Eventually, Mr
Cordell agreed to let me and APS Ames onto the property to confirm there was no damage
or theft offences being committed.
Simon Cordell's car a silver ford focus VRM MA57LDY was present and contained at least
three massive nitrous oxide tanks. When queried he admitted he had seen the news
article about the dangerous effects of this and how the Government would probably
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 they 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 then completely moved off but returned about twenty 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

The net result was at least 4 arrests for various public order
and one officer injured who 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.
