"Arrests, Tows, and Gun Seized in NE Portland Street Takeover"

A multi-agency response to a Northeast Portland street racing takeover led to arrests, tows, and the seizure of a gun. Residents expressed frustration with the ongoing street racing, which has led to disruptive and disrespectful behavior in their neighborhood. Another street takeover on Swan Island resulted in one arrest and multiple vehicle tows. Overall, at least six people were arrested, 12 cars were towed, and a gun was seized during the weekend events. The police response was coordinated with other agencies to address the planned takeover events, and a new Oregon law allows for harsh penalties for those convicted of street racing.
