Teen arrested after illegal rave in Somerset

Police are continuing to investigate an unlicensed music event near Brunton.

Officers attended the site in woodland near Alfred’s Tower on Saturday evening (9 November).

The force said around 100 people were already at the event with more people set to attend.

Avon and Somerset Police had to work with Wiltshire Police to close several roads to prevent more people coming.

A man in his late teens was arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance and remains in police custody.

The force said: "they understand the impact of such unauthorised events on people living nearby, and the potential effects to livestock in more rural areas.

​"The local team will be working with the community to address local concerns regarding unlicensed music events in the area and offer guidance and support to prevent further similar incidents."
