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.

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.
