Fort Worth police are trying to put the brakes on street racing and takeovers at intersections that have increased in recent weeks and put innocent people in danger.
Fort Worth has a street racing task force that's been helping. Now, they need your help to identify others in these risky road games."We've got different units addressing the problem. I can tell you that within the last several weeks, we have taken over 27 people to jail in our custody. Along with that, we've got 16 vehicles that we've towed," said Fort Worth Police Officer Buddy Calzada.
So what we want to do is identify these individuals and actually issue more citations or arrests."Police are looking for the people who are purposely blocking the street. Calzada says they are also purposely blocking emergency vehicles, which is a state jail felony."We've got it in black and white. You can see they are telling… not just encouraging, but they are telling people, ‘You stop the police while we conduct these dangerous acts,’" he said.
