Two taken to hospital and one arrest at huge illegal rave
Two revellers were taken to hospital and one man was arrested on drugs offences at a huge illegal rave in Northamptonshire.
The underground party took place in a barn in Bugbrooke Road, between Kislingbury and Bugbrooke, on Saturday night and police have confirmed an investigation is now under way following reports of criminal damage.
A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said because of the number of people who attended, officers decided against breaking up the gathering and instead contained it all evening and into the morning.
He said: "Police have contained an illegal rave which took place in a barn on farmland between the villages of Kislingbury and Bugbrooke.
"By the time poilce arrived a large number of people had arrived and vehicles had been parked along the side of the road betweeen the two villages.
"The venue itself was some way away from residential areas and noise disruption was minimal.
"In light of the location and large number of people police took the decision to monitor and contain the event.
"One arrest was made, a man from Essex on suspicon of drugs offences."
He added two people were taken to Northampton General Hospital, and a third was injured during the course of the party.
Meanwhile, contractors were called in to clear the piles of rubbish left by the revellers yesterday.
