Officials warned attendees not to pass military installations on the way to the event in East Lulworth, which has caused “disturbance and unrest” in the area. The rave was held near the Bovington military base on land belonging to the Ministry of Defense and finally disbanded late Sunday night, more than 21 hours after the start. Dorset police said they worked with the fire department, council and defense department to clear the area – as they used drones to track the crowds. “It makes sense, we received a lot of calls from anxious and disturbed residents who were disturbed by the noise levels coming from the illegal incident,” said Sam de Regia, deputy chief of police. “I would like to assure them that we are fully aware of this unauthorized large gathering of people and are working proactively… to complete the event.”
