RANDOLPH, Mass. — Seventeen people have been charged in connection with a coordinated street takeover in Randolph from last year that “endangered motorists and responding officers,” police announced Tuesday.
The suspects are facing charges out of Quincy District Court, including conspiracy to commit a crime, interfering with a police officer, disorderly conduct and operating to endanger, Randolph police said in a press release.
What happened
The incident took place in the early morning on Oct. 5, 2025, when a large crowd of around 100 people gathered at the intersection of North Main and Oak streets, police said. The crowd blocked off the intersection to allow drivers to do car tricks in the road, which drew spectators who recorded videos for social media.
When the first Randolph police officer arrived at the scene, the crowd surrounded his cruiser and stopped him from entering the intersection, police said. The group then battered the cruiser and lit fireworks on top of and around it.

“Street takeovers create dangerous conditions for everyone involved, including the responding officers, anyone traveling in that area and residents who live nearby,” Randolph Police Chief Anthony Marag said in the release.
Following the incident, Randolph detectives launched an extensive investigation, reviewing dashboard camera footage from the police cruiser, security video from nearby businesses and publicly available social media videos of the incident.
Investigators also obtained a search warrant for information about several Instagram users believed to be connected to the events, police said. Recovered messages indicated that organizers shared locations of street takeover events across Massachusetts and encouraged spectators to interfere with law enforcement efforts. Investigators believe many participants traveled together to several street takeover events on the night of the incident.
Investigators ultimately identified 17 suspects — none of whom are Randolph residents — who blocked responding police officers, surrounded their cruisers or performed dangerous car stunts, police said. All but one of the suspects is between the ages of 19 and 23, and six of them are not Massachusetts residents.
