Richmond Police Arrest Nine, Confiscate Four Vehicles After Reckless Sideshow Event

Richmond police made nine arrests and impounded four vehicles following a large sideshow event yesterday that put public safety at risk. In a statement on social media, the

Richmond Police Department

described the incident involving over 200 participants and 50 vehicles illegally blocking the street with reckless driving behavior.

Officers arrived at the 1300 block of Canal Blvd to disperse the gathering. Upon arrival, participants tried to flee, with some driving the wrong way and others erratically on sidewalks. One vehicle was stopped using spike strips, and the occupants were arrested. Trying to escape, these individuals demonstrated the dangers associated with sideshows.

The police emphasize that sideshows are unlawful and pose significant risks to participants and onlookers. This specific sideshow in Richmond, they say, jeopardized many lives with its chaotic and uncontrolled nature. Richmond’s law enforcement urges the community to contribute to preventing such hazardous events.

“Sideshows are illegal and pose serious risks to everyone involved,” the

Richmond Police noted

, stressing that the city’s safety is a priority. “These reckless gatherings put lives at stake, from participants to bystanders.” They suggest working collectively to discourage such perilous activities in the future.
