POLICE closed down an illegal rave in Crowthorne on Saturday night.

Thames Valley Police says it was called at 10.26pm to Crowthorne Woods and went to investigate half an hour later. Officers found about 200 people were in attendance with up to ten vehicles.

Colleagues from neighbouring Hampshire Police had already dispatched officers to monitor influx of traffic into the area.

A decision was made to close the rave and sound equipment was seized. The rave was closed within two hours. No arrests were made.
