An unauthorised car tuning assembly took place in Brée, Limbourg province on Saturday night, under the watchful eye of local law enforcement.
The local Carma police (covering Genk, As, Oudsbergen, Zutendaal, Houthalen-Helchteren, Brée, Bocholt, Kinrooi) were alerted to an illegal tuning meeting around 21:30 on Saturday evening.
The gathering, comprised primarily of modified vehicles, was in full swing in the Kanaal-Noord industrial zone, close to Greenyard company, with the number of cars who arrived to take part rose rapidly.
Police promptly responded to the site with numerous squads and drones, subsequently cordoning off the industrial zone. After some time, between 500 and 1,000 vehicles had converged on the location.
Participants hailed from the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Details for the gathering, including the location and time, were circulated via social media.
The police remained vigilant throughout the course of the meeting, allowing it to proceed in a controlled manner, Brée Mayor Liesbeth Van der Auwera confirmed Sunday morning.
