These unsanctioned meetups create unsafe conditions for participants, spectators, and other road users.

Each year, the Langley Good Times Cruise-In brings thousands of visitors to our community to celebrate classic cars and family-friendly fun. Unfortunately, in the past two years, police have observed and responded to large, illegal car gatherings in the days leading up to the event.

These unsanctioned meetups create unsafe conditions for participants, spectators, and other road users. They disrupt residents, generate complaints, and divert police resources from legitimate public safety needs.

The Langley RCMP are making it clear, unsanctioned car gatherings will not be tolerated. Officers will be conducting proactive enforcement throughout the lead-up to, and during, the Cruise-In. This will include:

  • Increased patrols in known gathering areas
  • Traffic enforcement targeting dangerous driving and excessive noise
  • Tickets, vehicle impoundments, and other penalties under the Motor Vehicle Act where appropriate

We want the Cruise-In to remain a safe and enjoyable event for everyone, said Sergeant Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP. We are urging people to refrain from participating in these unlawful gatherings. If you choose to ignore this warning, you risk fines, having your vehicle impounded, and possible criminal charges.

The Langley RCMP is working closely with event organizers and community partners to ensure the Cruise-In continues as a positive celebration of car culture. Illegal street meets will not be part of it. Anyone with concerns or information about illegal gatherings is asked to contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
