Police and local authority officers have brought an unlicensed music event at Camber Beach to a swift end, preventing disruption to the local community.
Neighbourhood officers responded to reports on Saturday, 16 August, of a planned gathering in breach of local byelaws. Working in partnership with Rother District Council, officers acted early to disrupt the event before it fully took place.
A key individual, believed to be the headline DJ, was intercepted just two miles from the beach. Checks revealed he was driving while disqualified and uninsured. His vehicle was seized, and he was reported to court before being sent home via public transport.
The rest of the event was safely concluded, with police and council officers seizing sound equipment to prevent further disturbance.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said:
“We understand the desire to gather and enjoy music, but events must be properly licensed and safe for everyone. Our priority is always to protect public spaces and ensure the wellbeing of the wider community.”
