On the night of December 26th, HPD was called to Mission Hills in multiple vehicles on the grass area “doing donuts”, causing severe landscape damage.

The suspects were gone prior to officers’ arrival, but a witness was able to obtain video footage of the incident, which depicted two vehicles causing the damage at that time.

Hours later, police were again called to the park for a similar involving different vehicles. One vehicle fled the scene while the driver of the second car, as well as that car’s occupant, were arrested.
