Gatecrashers Trash Mansion After Hearing About Party On Radio Show

A Devon family is furious over damage caused by gate crashers after a BBC 1 Radio host gave out news of a party it was hosting. Mr. and Mrs. Reg Brooks had hired four bouncers to deal with any problems, but they were no match for the estimated 2000 teens who descended on Sarah Ruscoe’s eighteenth birthday party celebration in Bovey Tracey. Police eventually cleared the home. The BBC denies responsibility, saying the host, Pete Tong, “did not specify the name or address of the venue, but read out details of a mansion party taking place in Bovey Tracey sent in by a listener.” Read more here.
