In a statement from Beds police, they said: "This type of event is illegal, and they are often linked to anti-social behaviour, violence and cause damage to the environment and disturb local residents and wildlife.

"They also put people at an increased risk of Covid-19, as social distancing is not possible."

And they urged anyone who hears about an unlicensed music event, to call 101.

Also, if you notice posters or messages advertising an unlicensed music event, cropped bolts on a gate, or people in cars or vans, call the police.
