Police in Fall River, Massachusetts, arrested five people after a street takeover involving at least 50–100 individuals over the weekend.

The Fall River Police Department wrote in a news release that the illegal street takeover went from 3:15 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday when 50–100 people on dirt bikes, scooters, ATVs and motorcycles gathered on streets across the city. According to police, the group was “disregarding traffic laws while performing reckless stunts, putting not only their lives at risk, but the lives of innocent, law-abiding drivers and pedestrians at risk.”

Police said the gathering posed “a significant safety concern to the public,” adding that “these are not merely bikers peacefully enjoying a law-abiding ride through our city.”
