CINNAMINSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) – In South Jersey, police in Cinnaminson Township say a car club event got out of hand and had to be broken up.

About 300 cars showed up in a Sonic restaurant parking lot on Burlington Pike just off Riverton Road.

In a post on the department's Facebook page, the police chief says some of the drivers then went to a nearby parking lot.

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF RICH CALABRESE: Last night at 7:35pm, the Cinnaminson Township Police received its first noise...

It took two hours to break up the event.

CBS Philadelphia doesn't have any word about arrests.

Last September, a car rally in Cape May County turned deadly, causing public outcry and demand for change.
