NYPD: Man arrested for blasting Mets stadium with music

NEW YORK – Police in New York City say they’ve nabbed the culprit who outfitted a van with more than 50 speakers and blasted loud music late at night near the New York Mets’ stadium.

WNBC-TV reports police received multiple noise complaints Saturday night in the Queens neighbourhood of Willets Point, near Citi Field.

Police found the van and confiscated it.

Authorities say the van’s owner, Nelson Hidalgo, has been arrested on charges of criminal nuisance, unreasonable noise, unlawful assembly and other offences. It wasn’t immediately known if Hidalgo has an attorney.

The NYPD tweeted out a picture of the van on Sunday.
