SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Numerous individuals suspected of having taken part in a street takeover event in Austin last month have the attention of law enforcement all over the state of Texas.

The Austin Police Department has announced the arrest of 11 suspects, including one juvenile. At this time, six other suspects are also wanted in connection to a large gathering that closed down intersections and blocked traffic on February 18, 2023.

The Department’s collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety and other law enforcement agencies around the state has been named Operation Burnout, which was created to apprehend, disrupt, and deter criminal behavior associated with ‘street takeover’ incidents caused by reckless driving.

During the ongoing operation, APD’s Organized Crime Division Violent Crime Interdiction Unit and other local and state law enforcement partners investigated multiple criminal offenses during the reckless driving incidents. Over thirty arrest warrants were issued, and in some cases, vehicles were seized.

Suspects were located and arrested in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin. The names of those arrested are below and pictures can be seen by clicking here.
