Officials with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, local law enforcement agencies and other city offices are expected to announce charges after car meetups causes issues and damaged police vehicles last weekend. The event will be held at 1:30 p.m. and it will be livestreamed at the top of this story. At least five police vehicles were damaged last weekend as police officials worked to disperse large crowds gathered at car meetups throughout Philadelphia, including outside of City Hall and at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Outside City Hall, NBC10’s camera found a patrol vehicle with a smashed windshield, where officials said, attendees of a car meetup stomped on the window as officers attempted to break up crowds. Following those incident, the Philadelphia Police Department announced that it will be assigning “dozens of officers to address these illegal gatherings” for this upcoming weekend. Police officials said these officers will focus on the large, dangerous vehicular gatherings that have been forming throughout the city. A key part of these efforts is having officers in the Criminal Intelligence Unit gather data to learn of these events prior to their formation, which, officials said, is an approach that has been successful in the past.
