Dozens of cars seized at Oakland sideshow

Multiple sideshows inundate the Bay Area early Saturday morning, one car erupts in flames

Law enforcement across the Bay Area dealt with several sideshows during the early morning hours on Saturday, with one sideshow resulting in a car fire in Oakland.

Oakland police said "nearly 80" vehicles were seized and towed from a huge sideshow on Cinco de Mayo.

The Oakland Police Department estimated that there were 250 vehicles taking part in the gathering on Friday night and early Saturday morning.

Sideshows flared up in Oakland on 10th Street near Oak and Fallon streets, police said. The gatherings lasted for hours, neighbors told KTVU.

Footage from the weekend sideshows resulted in a flaming car being repeatedly rammed by another driver. There were also people igniting fireworks, and according to police, using lasers.

"A vehicle fire, lasers, & fireworks are just a few of the dangerous and life-threatening obstacles our officers endured," the Oakland police tweeted.

Police did not say whether people were arrested.
