The Indiana State Police teamed up with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department to curb a growing trend of illegal "street take-overs" and "spinning" events.
Officers gathered information about a planned for Saturday event in Indianapolis. Troopers and IMPD Officers utilized available assets to strategically plan for enforcement efforts during the planned "take-over" events.
"These illegal gatherings are not only dangerous for our communities, they often include other crimes such as theft, drugs and illegal firearms. We will continue to work diligently to identify those responsible for organizing these events as well as those who choose to participate in illegal activities," said Indiana State Police Indianapolis District Lieutenant Josh Watson.
Connected to these events, the Indiana State Police arrested 10 people, recovered three stolen vehicles, recovered two stolen handguns and issued nearly 50 citations for various violations.
The Indiana State Police Aviation Section was instrumental in some of the vehicle pursuits and assisted with identifying vehicles that fled from officers.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police arrested five people, recovered three illegal firearms, and issued citations for various violations.
