Audio equipment removed from 'noisy pub neighbour' in Crystal Palace

The Thicket Tavern in Crystal Palace
Sound equipment was seized by police from a pub following neighbour complaints about loud music being played by squatters in Crystal Palace.
Around 30 items including large concert-sized speakers and music decks were removed from the Thicket Tavern, in Anerley Road, following a visit by safer neighbourhood officers and Bromley Council's environmental health team.
Electrical engineers from EDF also attended last Wednesday and disconnected the venue's electricity supply.
PCSO Jack Poole from the Crystal Palace Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "This is a clear message that if you act in an anti-social manner with no regard for others, you will be targeted by the police and our partner agencies. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated."
