Cars Parked In Secaucus Parking Lots Blasted Loud Music Saturday Night
Secaucus Police continue to patrol for illegal car meet-ups, especially after 100 cars did a street takeover of County Avenue last August:
SECAUCUS, NJ — Cars parked at Meadowlands Parkway and American Way were blasting loud music at 12:19 a.m. Sunday, said Secaucus Police.
Secaucus Police said they started receiving complaints of loud music coming from that area after midnight Saturday. Officers located three vehicles parked in a parking lot on Century Way. One of the vehicles had large external speakers; that's where the music was coming from.
The cars were parked — and blasting the music — 3,100 feet from a private Secaucus home.
