2:05Now PlayingWild video released by the Prince George’s County Police Department shows what officers describe as “illegal car takeovers” that have been causing chaos in Maryland.
The aerial footage captures dozens of people standing within feet of cars spinning wildly at high speeds in places like shopping center parking lots.
The video landed amid an ongoing political battle over crime in Maryland.
Gov. Wes Moore has invited President Donald Trump to take part in a “safety walk” in Baltimore to highlight crime-reduction efforts.
Trump, meanwhile, has criticized Moore, accusing him of failing in public safety, and posted on Truth Social in August that he would send in the troops.
“After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC! When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly ‘walk the streets’ with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland. P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER,” the president wrote.
The release of the footage also came as local police charged 18-year-old Naef Salmo of Millersville in connection with a crash that seriously injured a woman during one of these types of car takeovers.
