An iilegal rave at the former Stillingfleet Mine near Selby on the 7th of May, has lead to the arrest of six people say North Yorkshire Police.  

Officers removed music equipment from the former mine site and they say that the illegal rave involved loud music, drug use and disorder.  

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: “The impact on the local community and the risk to those present due to the derelict nature of the site were clearly unacceptable. 

While this was a challenging incident to deal with – not least because of the sheer volume of people in attendance – we’re extremely grateful to local residents for their patience.”
