illegal raves taking place this weekend – cops and leaders are also pleading with people to prevent them going. Greater Manchester Police have picked up intelligence that "organised criminals" are planning to hold more raves this weekend.Teaming up with Mayor Andy Burnham, cops have launched an appeal to the public to provide information about the gatherings.
They are also pleading with parents to prevent their children from attending, reports Manchester Evening News. Mayor Burnham said "more could have been done" by the force to stop one of last weekend's two illegal raves, a criticism which has been accepted by GMP bosses who have set up a central intelligence gathering unit and will make more cops available to tackle the problem this.
