Detective Superintendent Carwyn Hughes said: “We are in Burgess Hill and requesting that if anyone is on their way to the town or the rave, they don’t attend.

“The temperature is close to freezing and many people turning up are now outside in this weather. We are urging anyone on their way to please not attend.

“We continued to monitor the site, where there are around 100 people and are speaking to the organisers to bring it to a safe conclusion and minimise disruption to the community.”

Victoria Way was closed while officers were in the area.
