25 People To Appear In Court After Participating In Illegal Forest Rave

25 ravers will be tried at Lincoln Magistrates Court in February after facing a pantheon of charges stemming from their involvement in an illegal forest rave in England’s Twyford Woods in May of this year.

From May 23 to the following evening, around 1,000 ravers gathered in the discrete Lincolnshire woods, equipped with sound equipment and vehicles. When noise complaints eventually forced police to arrive on the scene, they were met with attacks and thrown objects by some 200 people. 52 were arrested on site.

Now, seven months later, 25 of those taken into custody have received hearing dates for their court appearances in February.

From Violence Disorder to Theft to Drug Offense, the charges cover a wide range of felonies. The group has been divided in half, and will appear in court on February 11th or the 18th. For a complete list of those charged, and the charges themselves, read below.
