Two more people have been arrested in connection with an illegal rave at the former Charmy Down airfield near Bath last summer, which saw more than 3,000 attend.

A 22-year-old man from Bridgwater and a 33-year-old man from Clevedon were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.

Both have been released under investigation so further enquiries can take place.

This brings the total number of people arrested in connection with this investigation to 12, with three others interviewed voluntarily.

The event caused widespread disruption overnight on Saturday 18th July into the following day.

Enquiries are ongoing, and officers are still appealing for anyone with information which could assist their inquiry to contact the police on 101, giving the call handler the reference number 5220160383.

Avon & Somerset Police is taking the opportunity to urge the public to look out for the signs of unlicensed music events being set up, so they can stop them before they start.

The signs can include:

  • Promotion on social media
  • Vans unloading sound equipment
  • More and more people gathering

Call 101 straight away with as much information as you can about the people and vehicles involved.

Officers are especially urging farmers and landowners (urban or rural) to review their security measures.
