Eleven people were arrested and 51 cited over Labor Day weekend during a series of 'sideshow takeovers' that were broken up by multiple law enforcement agencies.
"Damage caused by vehicles involved in these activities often requires repairs at each intersection, with an average cost of $2,500 to $18,000," police said in a news release issued Tuesday.
Officers also impounded 10 vehicles for hazards and equipment issues, and detained and cited four juveniles for being out after curfew. The sideshows have been taking place up in LA and the Bay Area but were a relatively new phenomenon in San Diego until recently. "One of the things that we think has actually been a catalyst for these events was COVID when people weren’t on the streets," Sharki said."The streets were largely empty. People had a lot of free time on their hands. They started adopting a lot of these types of events down here in San Diego. We hadn’t really seen them in large scale before.""We’re aware they probably listen to police scanners and stuff like that," Sharki said.
