Four people have been taken to hospital after a large crowd gathered at an "unlicensed music event" on an industrial estate.

South Wales Police said in excess of 1,000 people attended the rave at Kenfig Industrial Estate, Margam, Port Talbot, which began on Saturday night.

Welsh Ambulance Service said no-one was seriously injured.

A small number of vehicles and people remained at the scene on Sunday, police said.

"We are engaging with those present at the scene to ensure they make their way from the site safely whilst respecting local residents," said Assistant Chief Constable Mark Travis.

"The event is now dissipating and those attending have been leaving throughout the afternoon."

He added it was "disappointing" that emergency responders had been diverted to "an illegal event" on one of the busiest days of the year.

A large police presence has been at the scene since reports on Saturday of 1,000 people and 70 vehicles at the rave.

In a t, the force said an order had been put in place to direct people away from the site.
