Police end illegal rave heard from 'five miles away'

Police have ended an illegal rave at an old factory in Talywain, Torfaen.

Up to 1,000 people are thought to have attended the 'music event' that started on New Year's Eve.

Residents from five miles away from the site took to social media to complain about the noise from the party in the ETM factory at the site.

Fireworks were also heard at around 5am.
