Costa Mesa police officers detained 43 people — 34 adults and nine juveniles — early Saturday after breaking up a large rave party in an unoccupied commercial building.

Officers were dispatched to the 3300 block of Harbor Boulevard at 12:19 a.m. after “numerous subjects forced entry into the building,” according to the Police Department.

Many partygoers fled in vehicles or on foot once police arrived, the department said.

Kevin Mayorga, 20, of Anaheim was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, resisting officers and possessing a loaded, concealed firearm, according to the Police Department.
