Arrests made over last month's rave on the outskirts of Bath

Police have arrested three people today, Wednesday 5 August, in connection with an illegal rave at the former Charmy Down airfield near Bath last month.

Three men aged 22, 23 and 26 were all arrested on suspicion of conspiring to cause a public nuisance. They all remain in police custody at the time of writing.

The investigation into the event, which caused widespread disruption overnight Saturday 18 to Sunday 19 July, continues. Anyone with information which could help these enquiries can get in touch with officers by calling 101 quoting reference 5220160383.

Police continue to have patrolling officers dedicated to responding to unlawful gatherings and need to know if you suspect an event is being set up so we can intervene early on to prevent it.

Look out for the signs:

• 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 especially urge farmers and landowners (urban or rural) to review their security measures – you can contact your neighbourhood team for advice on 101.
