Richmond, VA – Last Saturday evening, an estimated 60 cars gathered on mall property in a car club and were seen driving recklessly. Concerned residents reported the incident to the Richmond Police Department, and officers quickly coordinated with the Metro Aviation Unit to intervene.
Just after 10 p.m., officers from the RPD Third Precinct arrived on the scene and issued citations to three individuals for reckless driving. Thanks to the quick response of the Metro Air 1 Unit, officers were able to identify the primary drivers engaged in reckless driving and put an end to the dangerous situation.
