News reaches the ILMC Squealer that the UK police had a nasty surprise after they arrested three people who were allegedly trying to organise an illegal rave on the Harfrey Business Park in East Anglia.

 

The police ('rozzers' is a slang word for the boys in blue) arrested the three and confiscated vehicles and equipment but then found that their police station in Great Yarmouth was under siege from over 100 (presumably annoyed) ravers who threw bottles, cans and stones at the police in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

It took police in full riot gear to quell the gathering outside the station and another 200 officers were needed to break up the illegal gathering.

 

The police have substantial powers to stop raves granted under the UK's Crimninal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 but the Act has been rarely used as it was somewhat clumsily brought in as rave culture died out in the late nineties.
