Two people from Oswestry were arrested for supplying drugs at an illegal rave in Cambridgeshire which saw over 200 people in attendance.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary have confirmed that a 24-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man from Oswestry were arrested at a rave which took place in village of Litlington this weekend.

Officers were called to a farm building in the area after reports of a rave at a farm building in the early hours of Sunday morning (October 18).

Cambridgeshire Constabulary confirmed that officers attended and “dispersal powers were used to prevent further people entering the area” with warnings being placed on social media by local officers to avoid the area.

They added that “music equipment and vehicles were seized, three people were arrested for drugs offences, and more than 200 people were dispersed from the area.”

Det Superintendent Denise Harper said: “Illegal raves can cause significant community disruption and damage.

"They will not be tolerated and, where appropriate, action will be taken.”

Cambridgeshire Constabulary have said that the two individuals from Oswestry were “arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs” and were given “community resolutions”.

They were two of three arrests made along with Dylan Grego, 18, of The Chilterns, Kensworth, who has been charged with possession of cannabis, failing to stop and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.

He will appear at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on 19 November.
