Dortmund (dpa / lnw) - The police checked around 700 vehicles that are assigned to the speeder and tuning scene on Sunday night in Dortmund during a major operation.

Five vehicles were seized and more than 160 people were sent off, as the police announced on Sunday.

The police directed many cars out of the city with reinforced forces to prevent the frenzy.

The riot police were also on duty.

On Saturday night, the officials had massively expanded controls and roadblocks in the city center.

Around 500 drivers were stopped.

Previously, there had been two traffic accidents with those involved in the scene, but without injuries.

A driver was arrested after provoking multiple loud starts with screeching tires and resisting police measures.

He came into custody.

Again and again there are illegal drag races in Dortmund, considerable traffic hazards and heavy noise pollution at night from horn concerts and loud music.

Many residents had recently complained to the police about it.

In particular, the three-lane Wallring is a focus of the scene, it said.

Such meetings were held there repeatedly during the lockdown.

Several violations of the Corona Protection Ordinance have been recorded.
