Norfolk Police say they made a total of eight arrests during last weekend's Sundown Festival - but the event passed largely without trouble.

Thousands of revellers packed into the Norfolk Showground over the weekend to see performances from a variety of electronic music acts.

Who were arrested by the Police and why?

• Two men on suspicion of possessing drugs, with intent to supply

• A men in his 20s for assault

• An 18-year-old woman for assault and a public order offence

• One man for a breach of the peace

• One man for being drunk and disorderly

• One man in his 20s for possession of an offensive weapon

• One men in his 20s for drinking and driving on leaving the site

"it was only a very small proportion"

Superintendent Kris Barnard of Norfolk Constabulary said:

"It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves and making the most of the good weather and music. Considering thousands of people attended the festival, it was only a very small proportion that chose to act in such a way where an arrest was necessary.”
