A number of arrests for driving offences were made after hundreds of people attended an illegal rave .
People travelled from as far as Cambridge, Portsmouth and London for the event in Dorstone, Herefordshire.
West Mercia Police said it used a Section 63 dispersal order under the Criminal Justice Public Order Act to disperse some of the group who remained early evening on Sunday.
They were first called to reports of an illegal rave at 01:00 BST on Sunday.
Officers set up road blocks, but residents told the BBC that vehicles continued to arrive, and that groups were being dropped off from taxis.
TRIBUTES have been paid to a founding member of a Hereford sports club whose life was cut short after catching coronavirus. On February 25, members of Hereford Triathlon Club past and present formed a socially distanced guard of honour on the road leading to Hereford Crematorium to say thank you to one of the club s founders and former chairman Neil Hyett. Neil was a huge character whose life was cut short far too early. He died with coronavirus. Neil was brought to the crematorium in the camper van that he loved with his family walking behind. His friends from triathlon, kayaking and cycling lined the approach road wearing club kit, with many on their bikes.
