Devon and Cornwall police are working to make rave sites “unattractive” to rave organisers over the bank holiday weekend.

The force are working with local residents to make potential locations for illegal parties unsuitable, with officers “keep[ing] a close eye on reports of planned events” and encouraging members of the public to report large gatherings, unusual road traffic, social media advertisements and vehicles carrying sound equipment. Officers will be patrolling areas thought likely to play host to illegal parties.
