State police cited dozens of people last week for three different car meets over the weekend in the Lehigh Valley<\/p>\n

Troopers filed a total of 84 citations for trespassing on private property at three locations Friday and Saturday, according to a state police news release. Numerous vehicles were gathered, and the meets were unsanctioned, the release states.<\/p>\n

The car meets were held at 200 Cascade Drive, Hanover Township, Lehigh County; 4150 Coffeetown Road, North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County; and 2800 Liberty Drive, Allen Township, Northampton County, police said.<\/p>\n

The Hanover and Allen township properties are industrial parks. The North Whitehall Township address is near a park.<\/p>\n

Police have cited people for similar events in recent years. Roughly two years ago, Whitehall police and state police stopped a car meet at 2701 MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township. About 150-200 vehicles were in the parking lot, and there were a large gathering of spectators. Police filed 23 citations and gave out 33 warnings.<\/a><\/p>\n

More recently, a number of vehicles and\u00a0 people gathered on Main Street in Stroudsburg,<\/a> which disrupted traffic and created \u201csubstantial danger\u201d to drivers, people and property, borough officials said. A curfew was in effect for days after the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"State police cited dozens of people last week for three different car meets over the weekend in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,202,182,139,432],"class_list":["post-283122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-top-stories-tmc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
