BREAKING: Deltopia cancelled after IV Police crack down
A police spokesman said they were ‘sorry’
Deltopia has tragically been cancelled last minute after budget cuts to the IVPD meant that not enough officers could be found to police the event.
After building the hopes of thousands by promising that there were not going to be any horses at this year’s festival, the police went back on their word just hours before the event was due to begin.
A source within the police department, who asked to remain nameless, said: “We’ve known for weeks that we wouldn’t be able to let the event take place.
“I feel bad for the kids that have already bought their beer.”
He also confirmed that IV would be placed under a 9pm curfew during the weekend to prevent students breaking the no Deltopia rule.
When reached for comment, the Governor’s office confirmed The Californian National Guard have been told to be on standby, in case the students revolt.
A psychology sophomore, Avril Feulle told the Tab UCSB of her disappointment:”I’m just really upset that they waited till today, April 1st, to tell us this.
“It’s almost like a sick joke.”
