Police dispersed hundreds of people from an illegal party on Sunday morning as they broke up a gathering in a disused property in Greenhithe.

The gathering was taking place in St Mary’s Road, close to the Crossways Estate and was attended by around a hundred people.

A disused property - thought to be a former nursery - was used to host the gathering before police attended.

Police marshalled the party-goers through the Crossways Estate in the early hours of Sunday, 5 February.

Police said that one man was arrested but later released.

A police spokesperson said: “Kent Police received a report at 10.15pm on Saturday, 4 February, Officers attended and dispersed those present.

“One arrest was made; a 36 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of breaching the peace, but was later released without charge.”
