In respect of the 7 June 2014 at a Warehouse on Progress Way in Enfield; I had been having a family drink
in the pub/hall with my cousin D Edwards his leaving party went from the 07/06/2014 till the early hours on the
08/06/2014. I had arranged to drop a friend’s locker keys off to him, I left the pub/hall to go and visit my friend
who was residing at Progress Way. I accept that I was approached by members of the police, he asked me my
name and my details, and I did not reply to him. He asked me to follow him back to where I had just come
from, which was where my car was parked along the Great Cambridge Road. I did what he asked. I felt like I
was being accused of organising a rave, which I had not done. I then waited in the petrol station a cross the
road for my friend so that I could give him his locker keys back. I then left and went back home. I was not
involved in organising any event at a Warehouse on Progress Way. At no point was any of my sound
th
equipment used for this event or did I cause any anti-social behaviour on the 7 June 2014.
I was not present at any event on Progress Way on the 8 June 2014. I was at my mother’s house with my
th
mother, Lorraine Cordell and my Nan, Sister Deon Benjamin, and a family friend, Jamie Duffy.
On the 20 June 2014 I am alleged to have been involved in the organisation of and/or supplied equipment for
th
and/or attended an illegal rave at 1 Falcon Park, Neasden Lane, NW10. I had been contacted and asked if I
would hire a sound system out for a gentleman’s birthday party. I agreed to do so, and the sound system and
a van were collected from my house. My terms and conditions were signed and a deposit was given to me. I
exhibit the terms and conditions and a copy invoice in respect of the transaction as exhibit SC/18. I received a
phone call at 1am in the morning by a client who said that the sound system was being seized, and that the
police were in attendance. I remember getting up and attending at around 1am to 2am. It took me 1 hour and
10 minutes to attend. I remember there being lots of members of the police present when approaching the
address, I had been given. I parked my car and approached the police at the doors and spoke to the police
officers I explained and showed the invoice and a copy of my terms and conditions of hire. I was allowed entry
to pack the sound system away, and it was explained to me that it was being confiscated. I was allowed to
collect the sound system from the police at a later date. I never returned the sound system to the client as he
had breached my terms and conditions. I did not knowingly supply equipment for an illegal party. I did not
th
cause any Anti-Social Behaviour on the 20 June 2014
