4. On 19th July 2014 at 2205 hours Police were called to the Carpet Right show room on the AlO Great
Cambridge Road Enfield regarding a possible rave in the empty premises. There was about 20 people inside
the premises with sound equipment which they were about to set up. When officers arrived they blocked the
front of the venue to stop anyone else getting in. The main organiser was spoken to by Police. This male was
Simon CORDELL. He admitted to organising the party and said he was expecting several hundred people.
Whilst dealing with CORDELL Police were told that crowds were gathering outside Southbury Road train
station waiting to be told where the rave was. After a long conversation with CORDELL he was arrested to
prevent a breach of the peace and taken to Edmonton Police Station C/N 01 YE3597/14 refers. As a result of
his arrest the people inside the venue all left. The music system was loaded into a white van VRM
PE52UHW. The owner and driver of this vehicle was Elliot LAIDLER. He stated it was the first time he had
worked for CORDELL. The van could not leave the car park as the key for the padlocked gate could not be
found However after two hours the vehicle was able to leave by driving over the pavement. CORDELL wa;s
released at 0430 as a breach of the peace was no longer likely to take place. Clearly CORDELL makes a living
by organising raves in North London. Or note is when officers searched the car park after everyone had left
they found a set of keys by the electronic steel shutters. These keys opened the shutters lo the premises and
on the key fob attached to the keys was a PIN nUJ11ber for the alarm system. This is how youths gained entry
to the premises. It is possible that CORDELL has obtained them via the security company or an ex employee
