dangerous effects of this and how the Government
would probably regulate it.

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

numbers. The situation quickly escalated as the
group started throwing cones and general road
furniture towards police, luckily dogs were on

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

TSG that prevented the group forcing their way in.
Again, Simon Cordell and his silver Focus were
present.
