Section 35 | A Section 35 dispersal order has been authorised and is currently in effect within the Briton Ferry Docks area.
There will be an increased police presence in and around this location throughout the night and across the course of the weekend. Any individuals attending or travelling to the area with the intention of participating in anti-social behaviour, disorder, or other unlawful activity will be directed to leave. Those who fail to comply with such directions may be subject to arrest.
The Section 35 will be in effect until 3pm on Sunday May 24.
Sergeant Molly Llewellyn said: "With the forthcoming bank holiday weekend and the associated warm weather forecast, it is recognised that many individuals will wish to socialise and enjoy this period. However, it is essential that all such activities take place in a safe and lawful manner.
"Unlicensed music events, commonly referred to as “raves”, present significant risks not only to those in attendance but also to the wider community. These risks include - but are not limited to - increased levels of anti-social behaviour, public disorder, violence, drug and alcohol misuse, and the presence of unsafe environments.
"Members of the public are strongly advised not to attend such gatherings. Additionally, anyone with information relating to these activities is encouraged to report it to the police."
