Emergency services remained on the High Street for at least two hours.

It is not the first time police have been called out to an illegal rave in west London this year, after riot police shut down a rave attended by hundreds of youths in the former Morrisons site in Hounslow West.

Around 1,500 young people descended on the supermarket, which was closed down nine months ago , off Bath Road where squatters had organised a huge party on Saturday (January 7).
