called to the scene <\/a>just before midnight at around 11:15pm. <\/p>\nPolice said items were thrown at them and their vehicles on surrounding streets as they closed nearby Feeder Road to prevent more people from accessing the site. <\/p>\n
A drone was deployed to assist in tracking down suspects, resulting in two arrests. <\/p>\n
Officers were called to another event at a warehouse in Aztec West, a business park in south Gloucestershire, at around 10:45pm following reports of loud music and a gathering of between 400 to 500 people. <\/p>\n
Most of the people attending had dispersed by about 3.30am. <\/p>\n
One person was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including drug-driving, as well as drug possession and supply, and remains in custody. Two vehicles containing sound equipment were also seized.<\/p>\n
At least 100 people also attended an unauthorised music event in Purdown, which was reported to police at 2.25am. <\/p>\n
Officers attended the event and those believed to be involved in organising the event turned off the music and between 4.30 and 5am.<\/p>\n
According to police, some of the people who attended the events at \u201cunsuitable and potentially dangerous locations\u201d needed medical treatment, either for injuries they sustained or in some cases suspected drug-related illnesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know some people accuse us of trying to stop people from celebrating New Year\u2019s Eve, but that is absolutely not the case. We want people to have a good time; what we don\u2019t want is people\u2019s safety being put at risk,\u201d Superintendent George Headley said.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThrowing items at police officers and driving while under the influence of drugs is also totally unacceptable, and something the public would expect us to take a strong stance against.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers\u2019 hard work throughout the night means those suspected of committing crimes find themselves starting 2026 by waking up to the very real and sobering prospect of being investigated and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
