Gwent Police intervened to end an unlicensed rave in Pontypool, ensuring community safety on New Year’s Day
Pontypool: So, Gwent Police had to step in and shut down this illegal rave on New Year’s Day. It was happening in a place called The British, near Talywain.
They got calls about loud music blasting in the early hours of January 1st. Can you imagine? Just a bunch of people partying it up without any permits!
The police were pretty clear about it. They asked everyone to steer clear of the area while they sorted things out. Safety first, right?
Superintendent Stephen Drayton mentioned that they have the power to shut down these kinds of events. It’s all about keeping the peace and making sure no one gets hurt.
They even cut the power to the site and told folks to leave. Raves can really mess with the neighborhood, and the police are not having it.
As they wrapped things up, they reminded everyone to avoid the area to keep traffic from piling up. Just a typical New Year’s Day, huh?
