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.
