RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,
Police and local authorities made mistakes in the handling of two illegal raves where a man died and a woman was raped, a mayor has said.
About 6,000 revellers descended on the village of Carrington and Daisy Nook Country Park on Saturday.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham admitted intelligence gathering on both events "could have been done better".
Police were criticised for allowing them to happen, but said they were "near impossible" to stop once started.
A 20-year-old man died of a suspected drug overdose at the Daisy Nook rave in Failsworth while a woman was raped and three people stabbed in Carrington.
Both events late on Saturday were illegal under coronavirus restrictions but Greater Manchester Police restricted its involvement to what they called "careful monitoring".
Speaking at an online news conference with Assistant Chief Constable Nick Bailey, Mr Burnham said the force was ready to take every step necessary to stop other illegal raves and that officers would not turn a blind eye in the future.
