The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, with the Tampa Police Department, partnered last weekend on the joint “Operation Silent Knights” to enforce traffic safety, focusing on street racing that impedes safety and is a public nuisance.
The operation led to 15 arrests, with 23 citations issued and eight vehicles seized.
“The actions of these street racers not only disturb the flow of traffic but endanger the lives of those who come out to watch, the drivers and passengers involved and innocent, law-abiding citizens who are either in their cars or walking and biking in those areas,” Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister said.
