Los Angeles, CA – Celebrations for the Dodgers’ back-to-back World Series victories turned chaotic last weekend when several street takeovers erupted across East Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). Deputies reported that thousands of fans filled the streets on Saturday, November 1, with some allegedly using their vehicles to perform donuts and burnouts in busy intersections, putting others in danger.
According to LASD’s Major Crimes Bureau, detectives from the Metro Detail obtained several court orders allowing the temporary seizure of vehicles allegedly used unlawfully during the takeovers. On Thursday, November 6, deputies impounded five vehicles from homes in Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, and Norwalk.
Detectives said the investigation remains ongoing as they work to identify the drivers connected to the seized vehicles. Officials noted that additional cars observed driving recklessly during the celebrations could be seized under pending court orders.
The Sheriff’s Department emphasized that street takeovers and reckless driving are criminal offenses that endanger both participants and bystanders. Authorities warned that future incidents involving speeding, donuts, or burnouts will be “aggressively investigated.”
