After 100 People Attacked Police Cruiser, This State Just Took Back Its Streets
Massachusetts recorded zero street takeovers after a statewide crackdown.
Police issued 232 citations, made 7 arrests, and towed 15 vehicles.
Governor Healey announced $14 million in new public safety grants.
Illegal street takeovers and sideshows have become a growing issue across the country, and while every region faces its challenges, some areas have been hit harder than others.
Last week, we reported that a takeover in Boston, Massachusetts, made national headlines after a crowd of more than 100 people swarmed a police cruiser, set it ablaze, and left the scene with authorities making just two arrests.
Clearly, that’s not the kind of enforcement that locals want or need. Now, the state’s Governor is committing millions to turn the tide, and it’s already paying off.
