POLICE officers recently broke up an illegal Rave in Nethercote Lane near Lewknor.

On Sunday, 07/02/2010, approximately 40 people were moved off the site by police and the landowner and during their removal two arrests were made for possession of controlled drug and driving under influence of alcohol.

Sgt Chris Hazell, based at Thame police station in Greyhound Walk, commented: “Thames Valley Police are committed to taking positive action in response to illegal music events. We would like to remind the community to contact the Police at the first sign of suspect activity. We would like to make potential organisers aware that Thames Valley Police will actively investigate such events and take positive action towards the prosecution of offenders and the seizure and loss of sound equipment, as with the Waterperry Rave last year.?
