TAMPA, Fla. - Nine drivers hit a major speed bump with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office after deputies announced their arrests Thursday in connection to a street racing event.
Deputies said they found out when the street racing would happen through social media, so they went undercover to see what was going on the night of January 9 in a Bass Pro Shops parking lot on Palm River Road in Tampa. We had heard about an upcoming event. So we had some deputies go undercover to this area and they were able to observe this large crowd coming together in exactly what you see in the video, said Amanda Granit, a spokesperson with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
