Ministry of Sound confirms “significant damage” caused by break-in and illegal rave at London club

Ministry Of Sound has released a statement after a “serious” break-in at its London nightclub on Wednesday, March 19.

Multiple videos were posted online showing a large group of people streaming towards the venue and breaking in via its girls’ bathroom, throwing an illegal rave with people setting off confetti cannons and spray painting the mirrors, before ultimately being chased out of the club by security.

In the comments, one video uploader wrote: "there was like 100 people walking and shouting with bolt cutters and bally’s on", and that it took around "2 hours for the feds to show up and shut it down".

In a statement posted on Instagram, Ministry Of Sound said “significant damage’ had been caused, and that “high-value equipment” was stolen.

The club will open as normal tonight, with additional security measures put in place.
