Eight arrests at unlicensed music event in Suffolk

Police said the people were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance, drug-driving and failure to comply with a direction to leave, amid other suspected offences.

Various items of music and sound equipment were seized by officers.

Supt Matt Carney said a drone unit, dogs and trained public order officers had been sent.

“This event was closed down following a large policing operation and the site was cleared as quickly as we were able do so, without any significant issues,” he said.

“Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the event and to identify all those involved in its planning.

“We will do everything in our power to prevent, disrupt and stop these events from taking place and minimise the impact on local communities.”
