Mob lays siege to police station
A police station in Norfolk came under siege in the early hours of the morning when a group of about 100 people hurled beer and wine bottles at the building.
The attack in Great Yarmouth, happened after police arrested three people in a van carrying sound equipment.
Police later attended an "unlicensed music event" at an industrial estate.
Ch Supt Bob Scully said the arrested people were not involved in the police station attack, but they were linking the two incidents.
The attack was declared a major incident by Norfolk Police and Ch Supt Scully said: "We acted swiftly to control the situation and restore order." Police are now monitoring the "rave" event at a warehouse on the Harfrey industrial estate on the outskirts of the resort.

That's one of the problems with modern day policing! Police are 'monitoring' the Rave. That should read,
"Police have raided the illegal Rave! Unfortunately all the sound equipment was destroyed during the raid and the organisers and several dozen attending have been arrested for various drug and public order offences.''To be born an Englishman, is to be a winner in the Lottery of Life.

It would seem if the two are linked somehow that they could use some of the organized crimes statutes...and make some arrests and bring it to a end...
