Police are investigating an illegal sideshow in Oakland last week involving an estimated 100 vehicles.
The sideshow occurred just before midnight on Saturday near the 8200 block of MacArthur Boulevard, according to a police press release. In addition to the 100 vehicles, approximately 200 people stood around and watched the sideshow.
Authorities said that when officers arrived on the scene, participants pointed lasers, and threw bottles, rocks and fireworks.
Officers were able to make 10 enforced stops, arrest three people, seize two firearms and two three vehicles with a 30-day hold.


Investigators are working to investigate both those who participated in the illegal sideshows and committed crimes.
"Illegal sideshow activity affects our neighborhoods, businesses, and the quality of life in our community," authorities said in the release.
No other information was released.
Police ask anyone with information to call 510-777-3333 or send an email to sideshowtips@oaklandca.gov.
