Three arrested after 'unlicensed music event' planned in Clacton
The trio, from London, have been released under investigation
Three men from London have been arrested after an unlicensed music event was planned in Clacton.
Police put a dispersal order in place after reports of the event being planned for last Sunday.
The 22, 25 and 27-year-olds, arrested on suspicion of conspiring to cause a public nuisance, have all been released under investigation.
The 22 year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance.
They have all since been released under investigation.
Music equipment was also seized.
Detective Sergeant Vanessa Moss said:
“Unlicensed music events can pose a risk to the welfare of those who attend because few, if any, safety measures are put in place.
“We also know that criminals attend these types of events and prey upon people attending.
“And they also cause disruption to people living nearby.
“We acted swiftly, based on intelligence, to tackle the issue and officers made arrests and seized equipment.”
