Police are investigating an illegal rave which was held at a disused warehouse on Hayes Road, Sully on Saturday night and into Sunday morning.

Residents complained on social media about the event creating noise disturbances throughout the night in the area.

Chief Inspector Tony Williams said: "This event was not foreseen and I am aware of the disturbance it caused to local residents and the community of Sully as a whole.

"I want to reassure residents we will thoroughly investigate any reports of proposed illegal gatherings.

"We are continuing to look into the background to this event and will be speaking to the organisers.

''Steps will also be taken to ensure such illegal events are not repeated in the Vale of Glamorgan.

"Raves can cause significant disruption to residents in terms of noise, and the nature of the event being uncontrolled can allow elements of public order to escalate."

In 2016, over 2,000 people attended an illegal Halloween rave in Sully which led to the death of a 45-year-old man.
