Car cruise has quieter weekend

By the numbers, Cruisin’ Ocean City continues to generate more participants and classic cars, but not necessarily police activity.

From May 19 - 21, the span of the vintage car show, the Ocean City Police Department recorded 2,137 service calls, which is a slight spike from last year’s event.

In 2015, 2,091 recorded service calls were made.

Cruisin’ just ended its 26th year in Ocean City last weekend. The four-day event has been criticized in recent years because of the bad behavior of some nonparticipants the event seems to attract.

To put it in perspective, approximately 3,500 hot rods registered for Cruisin’, while the weekend population might have been seven times that.
