On Friday evening, police managed to stop a planned illegal rave party on Oude Beselarestraat in Geluwe, West Flanders. The action followed a report about the event and led to the deployment of a significant police force.

Mayor Youri Casier (Vooruit) confirmed that an administrative decision was immediately made to ban the party. To secure the location, all access roads were closed, and a police checkpoint was also established.

According to reports, drink supplies were prepared for the event. The police monitored the situation with considerable resources to prevent participants from reaching the location.

The mayor emphasized that the closure of access roads will remain in place throughout the weekend to prevent any further attempts to arrive at the party.

The Arro Ieper police zone was responsible for the intervention and ensuring safety around the incident.
