Hundreds of revellers descended on an isolated moor for a rave – and attacked police cars when officers tried to break up the party.
The ravers are thought to have travelled to Saddleworth Moor from all over the north west after details and directions were circulated on the internet.
Police were called in early yesterday. But yobs smashed the windows of two patrol cars and a third vehicle – a Ford Focus – was set alight.
The blaze spread to grassland before being put out by firefighters at around 3.10am.
No arrests were made as the ravers fled – but a police investigation is continuing.
The party was held in the remains of an old shepherd’s cottage off the A635 Greenfield to Holmfirth road.
Ravers are thought to have arrived with booze, generators to blast out music and a tarpaulin to cover the roof of the cottage. The building, which belongs to nearby Uppermill House farm, is derelict. The land is used to keep sheep.
One neighbour said: "I drove up and soon realised it was out of hand. There could have been 300 people there. It was very frightening. I asked one or two to leave but they started being abusive and rocking the car.
"There were two police cars badly damaged and another burnt out and there was litter everywhere. It looked like a bomb had gone off. I think it’s disgusting."
A police spokesman said more than 70 youths were at the scene when officers arrived.
He said: "Shortly after midnight we received reports of a rave being held on open land adjacent to Holmfirth Road in Greenfield. The crowd dispersed and inquiries into who organised it are continuing.
"Two police vehicles had their windows damaged and another vehicle was set on fire."
Anyone with information should call Oldham police.

Exactly, so leave them the fuck alone.

These are the kinds of reactions we need in the U.S. "But I can't go to war with the cops, brah... my dad would kill me!"

First post woo. I know the guys who ran this, and it was a fucking joke. People getting robbed all over the place, people getting the shit kicked out of them for no reason, and to top it all off police and racers cars getting destroyed. All these people are doing is ruining the north wests already amazing rave scene. They need to leave it to the grown ups and go back to bury

yeah, this kind of shit is not what the free party scene is about. some twat smashed up a cop car at a norfolk party last year and was fully hounded for it right there and on and offline for months after.

Didn't the Spiral Tribe get exiled for having violent raves?

Wow crazy, I went to a Psy Trance rave last year down South, (I did the "near middle aged" phone the hotline, get directions and head out at 4am version though after getting 6 hours sleep!)
All 15 people there were going nuts in the middle of a managed forest, bit crazy, really people should be careful starting fires in forests but I guess hardcore raving crew were never ones for Health and Safety. The anticipation of hearing beats echo through the forest trying to find it after ditching the car was exciting, but then you realize it's like 10 people and you thought it was 1,000 lol.
There were no clumps at this rave though, people were completely out of their boxes !
Still fun !
