RANDOLPH — The Randolph Police Department has charged 17 people following a comprehensive investigation into a coordinated street takeover that endangered motorists and responding officers in October.

The incident occurred early Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, when large crowds gathered at the intersection of North Main and Oak streets while vehicles performed drifting maneuvers and donuts in the roadway.

Investigators determined that participants blocked intersections to allow drivers to perform stunts. Spectators surrounded the area and recorded videos for social media.

When the first officer arrived, his cruiser was surrounded by a crowd that prevented him from entering the intersection and addressing the situation. Individuals were observed swarming the vehicle, striking it and blocking its path while fireworks were ignited both on top of the cruiser and nearby in the street.

Officers estimated that nearly 100 people were in the roadway at the intersection.

Following the incident, Randolph Police detectives launched an extensive investigation that included reviewing cruiser dash camera footage, surveillance video from nearby businesses, and numerous social media videos posted publicly online.

Investigators also obtained a search warrant for information related to several Instagram accounts whose owners were believed to be connected to the events. Messages recovered through the investigation indicated that organizers shared locations and instructions with participants and encouraged spectators to impede police.

Randolph Police identified several individuals who investigators believe took part in the takeover by blocking officers, surrounding the cruiser or performing dangerous stunts.

As a result, Randolph Police detectives identified 17 individuals who have all been charged in Quincy District Court with offenses that include Conspiracy, Interfering with a Police Officer, Disorderly Conduct, Operating to Endanger, Number Plate Violations and related offenses.

Investigators believe many individuals traveled together to multiple takeover locations in several Massachusetts communities on the same night.

Randolph Police continue to work with regional law enforcement partners as the investigation is open.

“Street takeovers create dangerous conditions for everyone involved, including the responding officers, anyone traveling in that area and residents who live nearby,” said Chief Anthony Marag. “This case required extensive investigative work and strong coordination between multiple law enforcement agencies. I commend our detectives for the time and effort they put into identifying those responsible, and I also want to recognize the patrol officers who faced a volatile situation that night and continued working to keep the community safe.”
