Police investigate mass gathering of cars in Aberdeen
Over 80 vehicles were involved, with reports of dangerous and careless driving.
Police Scotland is investigating, following a mass organised car gathering within the car park of the Queens Links Leisure Park, Aberdeen, on the evening of Saturday 29th May 2021.
In excess of 80 vehicles were involved in the unofficial gathering which resulted in numerous reports of dangerous and careless driving, noise pollution and other offences, in close proximity of spectators.
Constable Callum Kerr from the North East Road Policing Unit said: “This was an impromptu event, irresponsibly organised through social media, and enquiries are ongoing to identify those responsible.
“Many car events are organised properly through the appropriate channels, and go ahead without issue in a socially distanced manner. Unofficial events such as the one of Saturday only serve to tarnish the reputation of legitimate organisers who abide by the law and provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
“We are appealing for anyone with information about Saturday’s gathering to contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 3312 of the 29th May.”
