Burbank Police Prepare For Possible Car Enthusiast 'Flash Mob'

BURBANK (CBSLA.com) — Burbank police will be out in full force Tuesday in preparation for a possible car enthusiast "flash mob" in the parking lot of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in the city's Empire Center.

The event, dubbed "Krispy Kreme Tuesdays: The Last Exile" on Facebook, was expected to begin around 9 p.m. on North Victory Place.

In a statement, Burbank police said they "will always respect and recognize the rights of individuals to peacefully and lawfully assemble. We also respect and recognize the need for area residents and businesses to safely utilize city streets and services. Mass gatherings can create a public nuisance, disturb the general peace and create situations which impact safe and efficient flow of traffic."
