47 arrests at Creamfields festival in first two days

Police have arrested 47 people at Creamfields festival in Cheshire since doors opened yesterday.

The majority of the arrests have been on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

Cheshire Police are warning anyone attending the event of the risks of carrying drugs.

Let this be a message to anyone who is yet to arrive at the Creamfields site and thinks that they can bring illegal drugs or offensive weapons in with them - we will take positive action and you will face the consequences of your actions. We are doing all we can to prevent drugs from entering the site and rest assured our efforts will continue. We want festival goers to have a great time at Creamfields, but the consequences of taking drugs can be devastating, not just for those taking the drugs, but also for their family and friends – it’s not worth the risk.

– Inspector Mark Gammage, Cheshire Police
