Several drivers were charged following a complaint of street racing in Milton.

Officers received a call at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday of a suspected street race on James Snow Parkway.

Police would like to remind the public that community safety is a shared responsibility. Anyone causing distractions on the road should be reported.
