Police are still trying to clear the site in Wales
an illegal rave in WalesAround 3,000 people from across the UK descended on a disused opencast coal mine in Banwen, close to the Brecon Beacons, on Sunday – before police arrived at the scene. But by Monday afternoon, hundreds of revellers were still refusing to leave, with pictures showing groups of ravers at the site.
The remaining ravers were warned earlier to either move on by nightfall on Monday or risk arrest, as shots showed some remonstrating with officers. ‘The fact we’ve got less people now with the officers we’ve got available we will be taking proactive and positive action if people don’t heed the dispersal notice.’
