Long Island town plans crackdown on ‘sunset parties’ after 2,500 hit the beach
NY Post
Long Beach cops issued a stern warning Friday to anyone looking to throw an impromptu bash on its beaches this weekend — after more than 2,500 people showed up for a “sunset party” that ended in gunshots.
“We are saying that if you think you are going to come down to the city of Long Beach and have a sunset party this week, you have another thing coming,” Long Beach, LI, Police Commissioner Ronald Walsh said at a press conference, according to ABC-TV. Sunset parties are informal gatherings whose details spread across social-media platforms, often making them difficult for local authorities to anticipate. While beaches are public, permits are needed to hold large events on them.More Related News
