Twelve vehicles were seized and impounded. The nine suspects involved were issued a total of 46 tickets.
Those arrested were Logan Woodwiss, 23, Devanny Alvarezcanela, 20, and Maher Jaghab, 21, all of Merrick; Christopher Sosa, 31, of Queens; Joseph Miller, 18, of Deer Park; Davon Chavesmariano, 26, of Brentwood; Justin Jadunandan, 20, of Queens; Dale Richardson, 30, of Uniondale; and Brian Fortune, 22, of West Islip.
