Teenager arrested after rave near Bruton

AROUND 100 people attended an unlicenced music event at a woodland near Alfred’s Tower in South Brewham at the weekend.

Officers arrived at the site at around 11.45pm on Saturday (November 9), with the event in full swing, to close access roads.

“A man in his late teens was arrested at 10.15am on Sunday, November 10 on suspicion of causing a public nuisance, and remains in police custody,” an Avon and Police spokesperson said.

“The Neighbourhood Policing Team 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.”
