I hope this wasn’t a night put on by one of our local party crews :hopeless:
INVESTIGATIONS are being carried out this morning after a fight involving a group on men at the Caribbean Club in Ipswich.
Officers have cordoned off the area in a bid to secure evidence from the scene of the disturbance in Woodbridge Road.
Police and the ambulance service were called to the club at 4am and four men were taken to hospital suffering from what has been described by officials as “minor cuts and bruises”.
No arrests were made but police have cordoned off the road and an investigation is now underway.
The road between Argyle Street and Great Colman Street has been cordoned off.
A spokeswoman for Suffolk police said she believed the revellers were leaving the club at the time of the alleged incident and that there would have been a lot of people in the area at the time.
Anyone who can help police with their inquires can call CID on 01473 613500 or Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
More details of the incident will follow later.
i dont believe there was anything on last night there..
i really hope this doesnt affect the looming closure of the club 🙁 its a great place
I expect any event held there last night was probably some sort of urban music event aimed at the older generation…unfortunately incidents like this do have a very bad effect.
I wholly understand why the cops closed off the roads so the CSI lot can do their job but the residents are going to be inconvenienced and their argument will be that if the club wasn’t there these things won’t happen..
that incident has probably cost about £5000 in public sector costs if you consider the cost of the ambulances, cops and then the paperwork the Council will have to deal with – if this subtracted from the tax revenue and business rates is a loss then there is the argument about why the taxpayers should subsidise the venue? (hence why places like Liquid and Evny have stupidly high entrance and drinks prices)
roads closed off even now, area major incident declared..
looks like it all sparked off from a domestic between people what knew one another..
me nana just phoned up in a panic making sure i was ok coz i go there lol – apparently someone has been shot!
no details yet released of shooting, but that is a lot of police units for a “minor” brawl
just because a firearm was discharged does not automatically mean anyone actually got shot, but the cops clearly want to find evidence..
locals are calling for a closure order and these days councils do try and listen to local opinion… Zest was much more commercially successful and that didn’t stop this place being closed down…
Oh and there was a special team of cops set up just this week to monitor nightlife in Ipswich, Lowestoft and Newmarket…
Shooting now confirmed, victim with gunshot wound self-presented to Ipswich Hospital separately to four casualties picked up by Eastamb..
my nan is like an eagle!
ive only ever heard of gunshots at urban events :/
youd never see this at a fluffy party
true, on the proper rave scene (not bullshit UK garage) the gun business was kept amongst the dealers and well away from the parties…
I suppose its a lesson to everyone though as I heard the last party crew event was also blighted by (much more minor) incidents of violence – its still inexcusable..
i think the last one was the evolution link up… was probably burst eardrums :laugh_at:
might have been a different one (not 100% sure) but there was enough of a disturbance and a bad atmosphere for my friend and his missus to leave there early and they are both young and love their parties…
its a big shame as 90% of the people in most towns are decent, but 10% fuck it up for everyone else and that 10% seem to be out to cause maximum damage…
indeed 🙁 guess thats human nature! oh well
was saying to my mate we need something like the new Danish Ungdomshus – apparently this hasn’t been in the news because its been working very well, as its moved slightly outside the town/city area away from where the gangs are and doesn’t create a noise nuisance either…
Denmark is is only across the North Sea and people in England and especially East Anglia aren’t that different, so why can’t we do it here?
what is ungdomshus?
Ungdomshus(et) = The Youth House – a community centre in Copenhagen, Denmark used during the day for community/creative projects and as a night time music venue. The definition of “youth” is now as broad in DK as it is here, going from mid teens to mid forties!
The first one got bought by the god squad in dubious circumstances and knocked down (because the new right wing government didn’t want it and there were also allegations of crime/anti-social behaviour associatd with the venue). This lead to riots in the streets of Copehagen, but eventually there was a meeting with the Council and some of the young people and a new one has been set up somewhere else in Copenhagen.
