149 Arrested At Street Races In Hartford

you rather they be out shooting.

75% there no racing involve we just come to admire cars and out among other with similar interest

No kidding.
Just ask the poor Angel Arce Torres family.
Who races on crowded city streets???
WHO?

I enjoy muscle cars, racing and fast cars, but racing is for the tracks, not for the streets. Only idiots do that at great risk of harm to the public and themselves.

the police can make 149 arrest for street racing but catch 0 in murder cases something is wrong here.

Police Come to my house!!!! Disrespect my family!

There have been shootings at the Hartford races.

Punks who think they're Vin Diesel in The fast and the Furious. Do something 1/2 way productive you drains on society.

About flippin' time! Now that HPD knows who these people are (they've probably known for a while), will they finally be able to keep them off the streets?!! The streets are horrendously dangerous once these so called races are finished.

And let me guess "I saw nothing, I don't know nothing" right? Just another coward afraid to "Snitch" no wonder the criminals run free

Im so happy cause my grandma got really hurt by a motorcycle that was racing down that street im happy they are doing something about it .

They don't solve a large percentage of Htfd murders. The courant refuses to print the statistics; doesn't want to "give Htfd a bad name."

Why is that?

Another reason to have a legal drag strip built. Not only would igt generate income it would save lives.

I got busted last year on Jennings (W Service) when they did the last crackdown. It doesn't stop racing...arrests just provoke more hate towards cops. Cops are corrupt. This is just a great way to make money/ get free community service hours for Hartford. We know theres a $30 billion budget deficit in CT..How f*ing dangerous could it be at 2am on desolate service roads? Let's get real. Pigs, spend some time catching the REAL criminals...BTW, how many tracks are there in the Hartford area?

This is gonna sound crazy but why don't you and your loser street racing friends get a job so that you're not up at 2 am acting like a-holes... Become part of the solution. LOSER!!

Wow, I'm shocked. The person who wrote the article actually got it right by calling it street racing instead of drag racing. Now if only the cops would bust real criminals instead of picking on all the car geeks, the US would be better.

Anyone remember what the Berlin Turnpike was like? Businesses LOVE car groups that and no town or city is going to have a problem with that. Very good for business!

It changes when MORONS start racing in the streets. That's the line and they're risking innocent people. No matter if you are a vehicle enthusiast of any sort or not, we all know that. Highways are just as bad, remember last summer when several motorcycles got splattered hitting a tractor trailer on 91?

Those morons destroyed what was at one time a really neat, enjoyable night on the Turnpike many many years ago.

Berlin and Newington did it right, the police cruisers are laid out about every 500 ft by dark on weekends in the summer on the Turnpike now.

Maybe that's because of the wonderful don't snitch philosophy in Hartford... Why do you think nobody wants to go into that dump...Hartford is a disaster... HPD, keep up the good work... all these people that trash you on here are cowards that would never do what you do every day..

Non tax paying cowards!!!!

Then move. Who in their right mind would reside in an area that is filled with no job gangsters selling drugs and killing human beings at the drop of a hat? I don't want to hear it's all I can afford. There are too many programs available for all people. You choose to live there so deal with it.
