Police break up illegal rave of more than 500 people

Wiltshire Police have broken up an illegal rave of around 500 people at Quebec Farm near Chitterne.

At 12.30am this morning (17 April), officers were made aware of the event and swiftly attended to the scene where they found half a thousand people on site.

Officers took control of the area, preventing a number of vehicles attending via various access points to the site.

A notice was served to the organiser ensuring the event came to a close by 7am. Equipment was promptly dismantled, and crowds dispersed.

However, later in the evening, officers also stopped another illegal rave set up at Enford, where police seized sound equipment from the scene to prevent further incidents.
