Police break up rave near Norfolk village
17 August 2008 15:46
An illegal rave attended by more than 100 people was broken up by police in the early hours of yesterday in woodland close to a west Norfolk village.
One arrest was made and sound equipment was seized after officers attended the rave at about 1.30am after being alerted to loud, repetitive music close to the village of Gayton Thorpe, near King’s Lynn, and in an area of woodland named 10 Acre Plantation.
Officers found 120 people and it was declared it a rave under Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.
Notices were served on people present and its organisers but these were ignored so officers entered the woodland and broke up the event.
Chief Inspector Nick Davison said the police action again demonstrated Norfolk police’s determination to ensure any rave or unlicensed musical event would not take place in Norfolk.
Superintendent Mick Kirk said: “Our strong, positive stance on this occasion in dealing with the Gayton Thorpe event should stand as a warning to anyone considering holding such an event in Norfolk over the coming Bank Holiday weekend.”
not only has that place been rinsed, it isn’t that far away from the village, too much stack in the wrong direction and the locals get noised up and grass up the rave (clearly what happened there)
this is getting very worrying. I think it is becoming more foolhardy than brave..
because people are being stubborn, the cops are increasingly now going to wonder “how can all these youths, many of whom don’t have regular jobs, afford to lose so much equipment each weekend?”
Cops already have criminal psychologists looking all over the net trying to get their head round the scene (especially since the battle of Yarco this time last year) and to try and work out why youths are still prepared to take such risks despite the clampdowns – and many feel it is due to a “mob mentality ” caused by the emotional effects of drugs.
it might not seem like it to us, but to “normal people” it is actually as frightening to them as the lads what do real violent crime in London or even extremist stuff like bombs…
And because people seem to have lots of “disposable equipment” they are going to get forensic accountants to work out where all the cash is coming from (if its not happening already), and I think we all know where that is going to lead to
Plus there has been a 100% increase in young people seeking NHS treatment for problems with recreational drugs across the East of England in the last year…
Can’t people just give it a rest for a few weeks, or alternatively use the TENS licenses as a compromise?
Otherwise its not just gonna be rigs getting taken but people are gonna get proper stalked by CID etc and could well lose their liberty for a few months/years as feds will start treating this as organised crime rather than youthful mischief… could even impact on the legal events eventually..
That’ll learn em. Bit stupid holding a rave in Norfolk when the OB’s stance is so militant. :you_crazy
whats worse is for 20 years it was completely the opposite, they were really easy going, more so than Thames Valley or Met (who were only lenient due to the high level of crime in that area)
A mate of mines a copper down there and even he’s said you’ve all fucked it up for yourselves. If youd kepped them small, relitively quiet and out of peoples way the old bill wouldnt of realy bothered you. So thats right from the horses mouth.
I’d give up on Norfolk for a year till the police think its finnished then just do small partys.
There was that party recently in norfok wasnt there that seemed to go okay, and as far as i know didnt get pigged. Maybe this was in retaliation to that. I mean if you start bragging about the cops being lenient and how you got away with a massive rave, its bound to piss someone off. Also as its coming up to the bank holiday they blatantly want to send the message of “You can fuck off if you think your having a Tek round these parts!”
Officers found 120 people and it was declared it a rave under Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.
Notices were served on people present and its organisers but these were ignored so officers entered the woodland and broke up the event.
If people are going to ignore section 63 notices, then it doesn’t make any difference how good the previous weekend’s party was, or how many others have been OK. If they tell you to stop – Just fucking stop – there’s always another weekend to be had.
Losing a rig ain’t worth it…unless you are proper rich, in which case buy a club or put on a festival for free.
Wow – I sound like a bit a cunt now, but seriously….

totally agree. some people are fucking idiots though, in which case its probably a blesssing there now rigless… :you_crazy_
Its true if you get warned and they are willing to let you go why not just go why stand there and fight. Plus if the place is really close to a village or what ever your kinda asking for trouble.
I do have to say i do like the statement Loud repetitive music hehe
That’s because that’s how “rave” music was defined in the CJA, loud music with repetitive beats, if I remember rightly its something like that.
yes if they didnt pack up and leave after being served the section 63 then its there own fault!
End of discussion realy.
should have closed up, but im reading a bunch of ravers having a go at norfolk for having a party…. respect to the crew for trying shouldnt be illegal to dance in a feild so keep going for it just gotta be smarter and point your stuff the other direction
the problem is people here would rather do stubborn than smart,
they must think if they do enough K the cops will miraculously disappear
its actually only illegal to dance in a field when other locals get pissed off enough to dial 999 – which they tend to do when a place is rinsed over and over again.
its not the best of locations, although the wood looks tempting its I had another look at the google earth photos and there are houses in every direction – the ground is level and tree cover not so dense and the nearby houses they are the sort of farm cottages owned by the victor meldrew and his Mrs type couple who probably think Al-Quaeda is something to do with it all),
There is also a pig farm and the farmers get para as people have chased their pigs and fed them acid at previous parties..
what I don’t understand though is if I can look at the “big picture” on Google Earth or other similar sites, why doesn’t anyone else think of doing this?
actually certain crews from 6-8 years ago would do stuff like get a proper OS map with contours, and use this put the rig in a dip so the sound wouldn’t be heard that easily… these crews kept their rigs but just don’t come out any more because the newer lot brought it on top for their area..
I don’t think they are having a go at Norfolk for having a party, they are having a go at the fact they are a bunch of retards for carrying on and not shutting down when the old bill ask.
Its not like partying is easy in that area at the moment so why antagonise the police? If they behaved and shut down the party they would have probably got away with the rig and gained some respect from the police!!
