The police have taken stock of the second tuning meeting within a week in Erding. According to this, around 1,200 visitors with around 1,000 vehicles came to the Volksfestplatz on Saturday.
Erding - Chief Inspector Benjamin Brückner makes it clear “that the participants in the registered event were not the same clientele that had attracted negative attention in the Erding-West industrial area the previous weekend”.
Nevertheless, some vehicles had to be complained about, Brückner continues. “Mainly, inadmissible changes were found to the exhaust systems, the lighting, as well as the wheels and chassis.” Due to increasing complaints, inspections were also carried out with regard to manipulated exhaust and intake systems and the associated noise pollution. The officers took volume measurements on suspicious cars and motorcycles.
The police draw this conclusion: “A total of seven vehicles had their operating licenses expired, two cars were even impounded and towed away.” Another two drivers were reported for making unnecessary noise after they let the engines of their cars roar for no reason. Seven others were warned for other violations.
There has been a tuner scene in Erding for years, which is also organized into a club and regularly invites people to meetings in the ducal city. Most of them recently ran without any major disruptions. The club is also socially involved. Before Easter there were illegal meetings in several places in the Munich area, which were kept busy by a large contingent of police officers. ham
