HARTFORD, Conn. — Hartford police are investigating an illegal street racing meetup that took place early Saturday morning.
Police said at 2:30 a.m., members of the Hartford Police South Street Crimes Unit and South Community Service Officers went to the area of 50 Reserve Road near the Charter Oak Bridge on a report of a large number of vehicles blocking the roadway, as well as railroad tracks.
Officers contained the vehicles so that action could be taken. 24 infraction tickets were issued and one firearm was seized.
This comes after a similar response on May 14, where South Street Crimes and South Community Service Officers went to the same area, where 29 infraction tickets and one custodial arrest were made.
This is a continued effort by Hartford police to prevent large illegal vehicle gatherings and street racing.
Police said these efforts and enforcement action will continue throughout the coming months.
