A police plane was deployed after hundreds of drivers turned up for a huge car rally at a Northumberland retail park.
Northumbria Police have confirmed that no arrests were made and the event at Tyne View Retail Park in Prudhoe passed "without incident" - despite the fact the plane was sent out to help with officers' response.
Coun Gordon Stewart, who represents Prudhoe South on Northumberland County Council, said he had received complaints from residents and urged the organisers to engage with the authorities to ensure public safety.
