INDIANAPOLIS — You probably heard about last weekend’s violent street takeovers across Indianapolis. Those days are over, say Indianapolis Metro Police.

So far this weekend, IMPD has made some arrests, and some cars have been impounded in apparent street takeovers. IMPD are light on the details for now because they plan to be back out on the streets this weekend, alongside Indiana State Police.

IMPD did confirmed one gun was taken from a person who isn’t allowed to have a gun.

Last weekend, IMPD and State Police encountered dozens of cars and hundreds of people all across Indianapolis streets. When police tried to clear the area, they say dozens of people showered their officers with bottles, rocks, street signs and traffic cones, and some even took baseball bats to patrol car windshields.
