Police disrupted an illegal rave at a farm building in Litlington, Cambridgeshire, in the early hours of Sunday. Officers were called to reports of more than 200 people at the event. Dispersal orders were used to prevent further people entering the area, and music equipment and vehicles were seized.

Three people were arrested on suspicion of drug offences. A 24-year-old woman and 22-year-old man, both from Oswestry in Shropshire, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs. An 18-year-old man from Dunstable, Bedfordshire, was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B drug, failing to stop and driving without a licence or insurance. All three remained in custody at Milton Police Station.

Detective Superintendent Denise Harper said illegal raves could cause 'significant community disruption and damage'. 'They will not be tolerated and, where appropriate, action will be taken,' she added.
