DYFED-POWYS POLICE officers have continued to maintain a presence at Halfway Forestry, Llandovery today. The force said it was to ensure the area was safe and end the unlawful gathering in a peaceful manner.
All vehicles and those attending have now left the site peacefully, The Herald understands.
Officers remain at the site and in the area to engage with the local community and provide reassurance.
Inspector Dawn Fencott-Price said: “Once again I’d like to thank the local community for alerting us to this gathering in the early hours of this morning, allowing us to take a practical and safe approach to dealing with it. You are our eyes and ears, and I would urge anyone with concerns or suspicions about such gatherings in future to contact us with information.
“We know raves can cause anxiety to the community they are held in, and if not dealt with swiftly are difficult to stop due to the sheer numbers of people involved. Considerable time and money is often needed to clean up afterwards too.”
The Herald sent a photographer to the scene as the event was being packed up.
