CHP Cracks Down on Pomona Street Racers: 1 in Custody, Vehicles Towed

Pomona, Los Angeles County, CA: The California Highway Patrol cracked down on a group of street racers, taking one into custody late Sunday night in the city of Pomona.

Street racers were observed doing donuts in the cul-de-sac on the 2100 block of Pomona Boulevard, just east of South Humane Way, on Sept. 4, around 11:30 p.m.

CHP waited for additional units to arrive to assist with traffic stops before moving in to break up the street racers. One vehicle attempted to flee and struck a CHP unit on the driver side.

One street racer took off on foot leading one officer on a short foot pursuit. The suspect was taken into custody.

CHP had approximately 30 to 50 street racers detained, and towed all the vehicles.
