17 Arrested After Large, Coordinated Street Takeover Disrupts Randolph, Massachusetts Intersection

Local authorities in Massachusetts say 17 people from across New England and New York were arrested after a coordinated street takeover in Randolph last October that shut down the intersection of North Main Street and Oak Street.
Incident Details
Randolph police say the takeover drew roughly 100 participants and spectators. Drivers performed drifting maneuvers and donuts in the roadway while participants intentionally blocked intersections so stunts could continue and onlookers recorded videos for social media.
Dash- and body-camera footage from responding officers captured chaotic scenes: some participants, at times wearing black face coverings, jumped onto the hood of a police cruiser while fireworks were detonated nearby. In one clip, a firework appears to have been placed in the windshield wiper cowl, sending sparks toward the cruiser’s windshield.

Police say 16 of the arrested individuals are from five New England states and one is from New York. Charges tied to the takeover include conspiracy, disorderly conduct, interfering with a police officer, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, attaching wrong plates to conceal identity, disguising to obstruct justice and shoplifting by concealing merchandise.
