According to Chief James Walsh of the Norwalk Police Department, the event is scheduled to take place on Saturday evening, Jan. 13 in the area of Connecticut Avenue.

Walsh said the police department found out about the event while working with the state police and the FBI.

In response to this information, the Norwalk Police Department and the state police have planned a significant response to strategically deter and maintain order, Walsh said.

"As we have seen in reports from other street takeovers these events can be extremely dangerous to the participants, the general public, and police officers," Walsh said.
