BROCKTON POLICE DISRUPT STREET TAKEOVERS, SEIZE TWO FIREARMS
More than 300 vehicles came into the City of Brockton over Halloween weekend for illegal car meet-ups and street takeovers. Brockton Police officers and detectives moved quickly to disrupt several gatherings and take two loaded firearms off the streets.
The firearms were recovered early Saturday morning during a traffic stop near a Torrey Street shopping plaza, where more than 150 vehicles had gathered. Officers and detectives, including members of the department's Strategic Crime Reduction Unit (SCRU), were conducting proactive enforcement targeting these gatherings. Two individuals from Dighton and Mansfield were arrested on gun charges.
Brockton Police continued their enforcement efforts Saturday night, moving quickly to disrupt additional car meet-ups before they could grow larger. Throughout the weekend, officers conducted dozens of traffic stops, issued numerous citations, towed several vehicles, and made multiple arrests connected to the gatherings.
Thank you to the Brockton Police officers and detectives who worked throughout Halloween weekend to keep our neighborhoods and streets safe. Our efforts to address illegal street takeovers, dangerous driving, and gun violence will continue.

HALLOWEEN IS SATURDAY. SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL BROCKTON.
Our officers were back on the Halloween circuit Monday night, joining families for more Trunk or Treat fun at Urban Air and Texas Roadhouse!
The costumes were creative, the cruisers were spooky, and the smiles were everywhere.
AND SPEAKING OF HALLOWEEN!
The City of Brockton's trick-or-treat hours are Saturday, October 31, from 4 to 7 PM.
Before the little ghosts and goblins hit the streets, a few reminders:
DRIVERS: Slow down and watch for children. Excited trick-or-treaters aren't always watching for traffic.
PARENTS: Carry flashlights, keep children visible, and stay together.
KIDS: Use crosswalks, look both ways, and never dart between parked cars.
And remember, the scariest thing on Halloween shouldn't be someone's driving!
Happy Halloween from the Brockton Police Department!
