Several people have been identified and charged in connection to a street takeover in Springfield on Sunday (March 31).
The Fairfax County Police Department announced today (Wednesday) that detectives arrested and charged an 18-year-old man from Woodbridge and a 17-year-old Arlington man who allegedly took part in a rowdy mob in a parking lot in the 6600 block of Electronic Drive around 3 a.m.
When officers pulled into the parking lot on Sunday, they found a large group of individuals driving recklessly in circle, police said in a news release.
According to the release, when a police cruiser drove up to confront the group, they encircled the vehicle, preventing it from moving. At least one individual attempted to remove the cruisers license plate, while others acted disorderly.
