Overview
- Norfolk Police moved on an unlicensed music event near Thursford Road after reports shortly after 1am on Sunday and closed the site entrance to stop further arrivals.
- Officers directed attendees to disperse under Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and by late morning many people had left the field.
- Five people were arrested in connection with the gathering on suspected offences including drug driving, drink driving, possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply, and operating a licensable activity without a licence.
- Police seized numerous vehicles, generators and sound systems from the site and said those items are being retained as evidence while enquiries continue.
- Residents reported loud music reaching neighbouring Great Snoring and some on‑site drug use was claimed by a local visitor; detectives have launched an investigation to identify organisers and determine any further action, set against a national pattern of hundreds of unauthorised raves each year.
