The police drone team were called upon to help monitor a music festival after disruption broke out.

The cops were sent to Witton Park, Blackburn, where the Restricted Forest festival is taking place, on Saturday June 26 following reports of disorder at the event.

As a result the drone team were called upon to help monitor crowds as the evening progressed.

Pictures captured by a drone, some using thermal imaging technology, show hundreds of people enjoying themselves at the event.

A spokesman said: “The drone team were called upon to monitor a music event at Witton Park tonight following an incident of disorder.

“Thankfully there were no further incidents and it looks like a good night was had by all.”
