On THURSDAY 24th JULY 20 l 4 I was on duty in plain clothes as operator of an unmarked police vehicle in
company with APS 212YE MARTIN, PC 151YE ROBERTSON, and PC 229YE O'NEILL. At around 1625
hours on Alma Road EN3 we had cause to stop a silver Ford Focus vnn MA57LDY due to the manner of its
driving. The driver was a male I know to be Simon CORDELL dob21 /01/l 981 . I know him as I have dealt with
on a number of previous occasions. He was initially hostile about having been stopped, but once he had calmed
down he engaged in conversation with us. He stated that he is staying out of trouble now, and he does not get
involved in any of the things he used to. He stated that he has 4 brand new speakers at home which are suitable
for use at raves, but he does not use them and has offered to lend them to any "youngsters" to use. He went on to
say that they are not interested though as these days they just want to steal everything. He said he gets inundated
with requests to run raves all the time, but he doesn't get involved now. He claims to have 20,000 followers on
one social media site, and 70,000 on another. He said he could organise a rave and get 20,000 people at it with no
problems whatsoever, and he gets requests from anarchist type groups to nm raves for them. He went on to say
that he had been asked by Occupy London, Black Block and other anarchist type groups to run a rave at Notting
Hill Carnival for them so that they could cause carnage and mayhem, but he had refused. Whilst on public order
duty at Notting Hi ll Carnival I saw M r CORDELL walking through the area I was deployed around TAVISTOCK
RO.AD. He was pushing a wheelie bin, and he was approached by members of a group of around IO - 20 people
who had been wait ing at a junction near our location. This group had been playing drum and bass music and bad
told officers they were heading to an event but were awaiting the location. It was somewhere between 2200 -
2300 hours when I had seen the group, and Mr Cordell.
