Florida Sheriff Hunting Dozens Of Suspects [WATCH]

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) in central Florida is actively searching for 30 individuals involved in an “intersection takeover” that disrupted traffic, endangered lives, and caused extensive property damage in Orlando.

The incident occurred on November 30 at the intersection of South John Young Parkway and Central Florida Parkway.

According to a statement posted on the OCSO’s Facebook page, a large group of individuals blocked the intersection, set a fire in the roadway, and used the area for cars to perform donuts around the flames.

The chaos escalated as the group harassed passing drivers and prevented them from leaving the area.

Footage shared by the sheriff’s office captured the alarming scene. In one clip, a voice can be heard yelling, “There’s a baby in the car,” as drivers were trapped in the chaos.

The group reportedly climbed onto vehicles and caused significant damage to some.

In one case, a Tesla driver reported an estimated $60,000 in damages after dozens of individuals jumped on his car and kicked in the windshield, according to an affidavit obtained by the Miami Herald.

The OCSO condemned the actions of the suspects, describing the behavior as “reckless and violent.”

The sheriff’s office warned that such actions pose a serious threat to public safety and vowed to hold the individuals involved accountable.

“I feel so really bad for the people that were just there trying to go about their daily lives and got caught up in that mess,” said Dave Nutting, a law enforcement specialist and retired deputy with the sheriff’s office, in an interview with FOX 35 Orlando.

The sheriff’s office released images of the 30 suspects, captured on video during the incident.

While some appeared to try to conceal their identities, others openly recorded the chaos on their cell phones.

Authorities are urging anyone who recognizes the individuals to contact Crimeline at 800-423-8477. Tipsters may remain anonymous and could help law enforcement track down those responsible.

Despite the severity of the incident, no arrests or injuries have been reported so far.

The sheriff’s office continues to investigate and gather evidence to identify and apprehend those involved.

The OCSO has emphasized the importance of addressing such incidents to ensure the safety of the community.

“Reckless and violent behavior like this has no place in our community,” the sheriff’s office stated.

The ongoing investigation underscores the commitment of local authorities to maintain public safety and hold offenders accountable for their actions.

The sheriff’s office encourages residents to review the shared video footage and report any information to assist in resolving the case.
