POLICE officers made 30 arrests as thousands descended on Creamfields yesterday to enjoy one of Britain’s biggest dance festivals.
Chief constable of Cheshire Police Simon Byrne tweeted earlier today to confirm there had been 30 arrests made at the annual music festival on Saturday.
There has been no update on the number of arrests made today, Sunday.
Ahead of Creamfields, Cheshire Constabulary issued a number of warnings about the strict security that would be in place at the festival.
Surrender bins have been installed near to the entrances for festival goers to dispose of any drugs or weapons.
Anyone who refuses to be searched will be denied entry into the dance festival.
Police have also warned about the dangers of ‘toxic’ purple and yellow pills after the drugs were sighted at Leeds Festival, which is also taking place this weekend.
Creamfields Cops tweeted for festival goers to watch out for yellow pills with a Rolls Royce logo and purple pill with a Louis Vuitton logo.
On the official Leeds Festival Facebook page, the warning read: "A yellow pill with Rolls Royce logo and a purple pill with a Louis Vuitton logo have been brought to our attention - these are very toxic and seem to result in being hospitalised when taking them.”
