An illegal woodland rave was shut down by police on Saturday, January 5.

Police showed up to the noisy party in Crowthorne woods at around 11pm and took two hours to shut it down.

Sound equipment was also seized from the rave where around 200 revellers gathered.

Inspector John Goosey, deputy LPA commander for Bracknell said: “Thames Valley Police has a robust response to illegal music gatherings.

“We understand the concern and disruption these illegal events can have on the local community and want to reassure people that we will always take robust action.”

To report suspect groups which may be setting up events illegally contact Thames Valley Police on 101 with a description and location to stop a rave before it has started.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

Wicked party! Started at 11 and didnt get shut down in 2 hours because i was still there at 3. Good people, and good music until the police showed up and used unreasonable force to shut the party down (pushing girls around and using CS gas was not needed at all) Power to the people! Peace

Wicked little party! It started at 11 but didnt get shut down in 2 hours because i was still there at 3 (get your facts straight!) Good people and good music until the police showed up and used unreasonable force to shut down the party (CS and gas and pushing girls to the floor was not needed at all) Not sure who was DJing..And i personally dont see the problem with a people having a party in the wood, all rubbish would have been cleared away and everyone would have gone home happy.but no, police have to interfere and ruin peoples fun. I highhllyyyy doubt you could hear it from Bracknell but it has to be said, i'm not sorry. POWER TO THE PEOPLE. PEACE.
