About 90 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies broke up what they said was a rave party on public and private property in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork canyon, an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday. Armed with assault rifles and tear gas, the police used dogs to sweep the crowd for narcotics. The scale of the police response was apparently due to the ineffectiveness of a smaller force used in the previous "Sequence Five" rave.
