The intersection of Canon Drive and Lomitas Avenue became the impromptu venue for a disruptive and dangerous “vehicle takeover” on Feb. 18, when more than 100 cars convened at night to perform “reckless driving maneuvers” for a large crowd, this according to the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD). Officials made multiple arrests, but the incident represents a recurring problem of dangerous group automotive activity that has grown more frequent during the pandemic, authorities say.
The gathering was the largest of its kind the city has seen, but BHPD Public Information Officer Lt. Giovani Trejo qualified that assessment.
