Atlanta officers arrest 10 people overnight due to reckless driving

Between the evening of October 15th and the early morning of October 16th, 2022, Atlanta Police were notified of a group of reckless drivers performing donuts and burnouts in major intersections of adjoining counties. The group eventually made their way to Atlanta and attempted to continue this activity throughout the city to include the areas such as I-75/85 at 17th St. and Lenox Rd. at Peachtree Rd.

Atlanta Police were, fortunately, able to respond to the incidents quickly and disperse the gatherings while charging at least 10 participants and impounding 10 vehicles at the various locations, in the process.

Street racing remains a priority to us, and we will not stop our efforts to eradicate these criminals from our streets. While multiple arrests were made for this behavior overnight, our work is far from over. Using our technology and intel from our local and state partners, we often make arrests after the fact, due to thorough investigations conducted on these events.

We are proud of the efforts of our officers last night as the continue to show that street racing will not be tolerated in the City of Atlanta.
