A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply as Nitrous Oxide seized ahead of Parklife festival.

Shortly after 3pm yesterday (Friday), security staff detained a suspicious male within the event site and seized significant quantities of Nitrous Oxide, which is now a Class C drug.

The male remains in custody while the investigation continues.

Superintendent Andy Sidebotham, who leads the Parklife policing operation this year, said: “We will work tirelessly this weekend - alongside event security and our partners - to prevent and tackle any criminality brought by a small number of people who attend the event or the local area.

"This is to help ensure that the majority of genuine festival-goers and residents have a safer and more enjoyable weekend."
