Planning on drag racing this summer? Detroit police have it out for you.
The department is cracking down on street racing and violence this summer by seizing cars, enforcing strict curfews and putting more police officers on patrol. The agency has seized at least a dozen cars, ranging from sports cars like Lamborghinis to trucks like a Ford F-150. This is about safety for all, said Interim Police Chief James White, who was joined by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan at a news conference Thursday.
Weapons and drag racing are top priorities for the police. Following a brawl in Greektown on Sunday, police are instituting a 10 p.m. curfew for everyone under 16, alongside a strict policy against any illegal activity in Greektown.
