  • what I find worrying is that Archant have gone to all the trouble to pay people (presumably) overtime rates to file this story on a weekend – these raves really must be big news in the area…

    BTW convoys are old hat.

    1980s and 1990s style.

    They worked when there wasn’t much CCTV, less people had phones (even in the 1990s some peopl still had dial telephones!) at weekends and cops would ignore non-emergency phone numbers other than 999 (nowadays there are call centres staffed by civillians to ensure every call does get answered as much as possible )

    People in Britain have changed their attitude and just as ravers stand up for themselves by putting on events; the locals are more prepared to call the cops and grass people up rather than just turn a blind eye to things such as large groups of vehicles (particularly if people are driving round late at night).

    The big multiriggers in this area have happened often and other than ravers loads of people aren’t happy. If these parties are going to continue, crews need to be a bit more subtle..

    Police disrupt illegal rave in Elveden

    30 April 2006 09:46

    More than 100 people attended an illegal rave at Elveden near Thetford earlier today.

    Police were alerted after receiving calls from the public at about 2.30am reporting a convoy of vehicles seen in the A11 and B1106 area.

    When officers arrived at King’s Forest, they found about 80 vehicles and started turning more people away from the event.

    After negotiations with the organisers people started to leave at about 6am.

    A Suffolk police spokeswoman said they took “positive steps” to disrupt the event.

    She added: “A quantity of sound equipment was seized and police will now examine video footage of the incident with a view to proceedings against the organisers of the illegal event.”

    No arrests were made and no one was injured.
