Last weekend there were several illegal street takeovers that played out across Massachusetts including one in Boston, Randolph, Middleborough, Fall River, and Brockton. This growing nationwide trend of a “street takeover” is a meetup of people and cars that block off a street or streets to race or perform stunts and generate noise. Gov. Maura Healey addressed the trend Wednesday saying she’s committed to doing everything she can to get after the issue and pledged to punish anyone caught engaging in an illegal car meetup.
