Dortmund (dpa / lnw) - 280 cars and almost 450 people who are assigned to the speeder and tuning scene were checked by the police at three points in Dortmund during another major operation.

The police said that up to 350 drivers wanted to convert the three-lane Wallring in the city center into a race track or use it to pose their cars on Saturday night.

Accordingly, 51 dismissals and 13 notifications were issued after violations of the Corona Protection Ordinance.

A driver received a criminal complaint because he is said to have blinded another driver with a flashlight.

Three vehicles with technical defects were seized.

"Stopping speeders, avoiding accidents, ensuring peace and quiet and implementing protection against infection - with a strong presence on the wall and controls on access roads, we have achieved important goals," said the operations manager, Stephanie Luzemann, on Saturday morning.

Unlike in the previous weeks, there were only a few complaints about noise pollution on Friday evening and during the night.

In addition, there were fewer cars on the road.

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

Such meetings took place repeatedly on the Wallring, especially during lockdown.

Last weekend, the police counted around 700 vehicles in one night alone.
