Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said more than 232 civil citations were issued, and seven arrests were made after she ordered a crackdown on illegal street takeovers, vowing a "zero-tolerance" approach to the issue.

The Boston Police Department said more than 100 people were involved in an Oct. 5 street takeover that happened just after 2 a.m. Officers found people trying to attack police cruisers with fireworks, cones, poles and other items.

Officials said one police cruiser was torched and destroyed by flames, adding that it needed to be towed away.

Following the incident, Healey ordered the Massachusetts State Police to work with local law enforcement agencies to crack down on street takeovers and illegal car meetups.
