They found out the hard way that Hillsborough County is not a good place to commit crimes. Sheriff Chad Chronister said, “We are one step ahead and working hard to keep our community safe.” “Street racing is not only illegal but also incredibly dangerous, those who choose to engage in illegal activities here will face the inevitable consequences.”
