Multiple large-scale illegal car rallies were dismantled Friday night across Howard, Prince George’s, and Montgomery counties following a coordinated enforcement operation by the Maryland Car Rally Task Force and partner law enforcement agencies, according to Maryland State Police.

The operation began around 9 p.m. on Friday, January 2, and targeted public roads, industrial areas, and parking lots where illegal exhibition driving events were planned or underway. Police said high-visibility patrols and enforcement actions prevented crowds of up to 300 participants from engaging in dangerous driving behavior, disorderly conduct, and roadway shutdowns.
