Cut & pasted from AA County release
Just before midnight on Sunday night, our Police Department was notified that a car rally - the kind where hundreds of vehicles take over roads, intersections, and parking areas, overwhelming police with their numbers and demonstrating dangerous maneuvers - was moving toward Crofton from Bowie up Route 301. They were headed for the lot in front of the Giant at 301 and 424. Our patrol officers mobilized and blocked access, forcing them to continue north on 301.
Next, they headed toward the Target on Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie. Our officers got there first again, and used their vehicles to funnel them back onto the highway, with no injuries reported.
From there, the rally drove toward the intersection of Dorsey and Ridge Road in Hanover. Again, our officers got there first in large numbers, and once again they funneled what was by then over 1000 vehicles out of the area.
That’s when the organizers decided that it was time to leave Anne Arundel County, and many of their frustrated followers headed home. Anne Arundel County Police did what other agencies have been unable to do. With brilliant coordination and an overwhelming show of force, they restored safety to our streets, showing us that our investments are paying off.
