Police also revealed they made 25 arrests this year, with 17 being for drug related offences, one for drug driving, two for theft, two for being in breach of court bail, one for assault, and one for criminal damage and dangerous driving.

Superintendent Mark Lewis said: “This year’s Boomtown went very well and highlighted the effective partnership working between event management, security companies, stewards, medical staff and the police.

“We have worked very closely with event organisers and partners to ensure staff were fully trained to assist anyone who needed help and to ensure the festival was safe. We worked to ensure festival goers were aware of who they could speak to if they had any concerns.

“It is important to note that the crime levels remain low when taking into consideration the numbers of people who attended.

“A number of incidents were reported during the festival, and police action is being taken."
