Police break up illegal rave in Carmarthenshire overnight
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesperson said the rave was 'well underway' when officers arrived.
Due to the number of people at the event and safety concerns, officers decided to stop further vehicles entering under a Section 63 notice.
Police issued an update on Sunday morning, confirming that a number of vehicles still remained in the area, but attendees were now beginning to disperse.
Officers remain at the scene on Sunday to ensure public safety, whilst local Neighbourhood Policing and Prevention Team officers are also liaising with residents and affected partner agencies.
'This type of event causes considerable anxiety and distress to the community, disruption to those wanting to use the area appropriately, as well as harming the environment and disturbing wildlife, which is why we act swiftly to shut them down,' said T/Superintendent Shaun Bowen.
'There is little doubt that these types of events are very well planned, organised and that local knowledge is important in drawing down the main group to a particular field, or area of land.
'We assure local communities that appropriate action is being taken to deal with this event, and we will robustly investigate any criminal offences discovered.
'We understand the strength of feelings in respect of this, both from those living in the area and those wanting to attend who are seemingly unaware of the disruption these events cause.
'We ask you not travel to the area with the intention of joining a rave, as officers are there and you will be turned away.'
Dyfed-Powys Police said incidents of this kind can be reported by calling 101, by emailing 101@dyfed-powys.police.uk, or online via https://orlo.uk/ochzL.
