'Car Meet' Takes Over Neshaminy Mall In Bensalem Township: Police

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —A "car meet" Saturday night in the parking lot of the Neshaminy Mall prompted police to discover 200-300 vehicles with some doing "burnouts and donuts" while hundreds of people watched.

The Bensalem Township Police Department reported Wednesday that they had received numerous 9-1-1 calls for a large number of vehicles at the Neshaminy Mall. WATCH VIDEO BELOW

Police were able to disband the large group of vehicles without incident. It was discovered that the same group of vehicles was at the Oxford Valley Mall prior to Bensalem and continued on to the Willow Grove Mall after being removed by Bensalem Police.

That unsanctioned car rally in Montgomery County might have some New Jersey connections.
