Big picture view:

The Brooklyn Park Police Department said it responded to a "very large car gathering" at a vacant business lot just after 9 p.m. 

Police say they dispersed the gathering, which "involved hundreds of vehicles," after many engaged in "reckless driving behavior" and caused "noise disturbances by revving their engines."  

Officers then found a smaller group of vehicles at the park-and-ride in the 4400 block of 95th Avenue North, which was also dispersed for disturbing the peace. 

Law enforcement personnel from the Minnesota State Patrol and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the dispersal.
