Cincinnati police taken into custody 39 people and towed 65 vehicles on Sunday after tracking down a significant number of drivers who were attempting to stage a street takeover across the city.

Officers secured the area, and the Civil Disturbance Response Team aided District Four officers in detaining suspects.
