Use it, Lose it.
On Saturday District 6 officers assigned to address street takeover activity, observed several minibikes in the North Riverfront neighborhood. When the officers tried to initiate a traffic stop, one of the drivers attempted to flee. The driver quickly lost control and fell off the minibike, but wasn't injured. He was then taken into custody, and the minibike was impounded.
Stunt driving is illegal, and street takeovers will not be tolerated!
