Car meets

Local perspective:

The arrests come amid a broader crackdown on illegal car meet-ups across the city.

Similar street takeovers have drawn large crowds in recent months, including a gathering in Middle Village, Queens, where drivers allegedly performed stunts around a ring of fire, and another in Malba, Queens, where a car was set ablaze and a couple was assaulted. Police have made arrests in connection to both incidents, according to the report.
