YouTubers charged with illegal street-racing conspiracy in California


In the case of the YouTubers, the investigation by Irvine police into the coordinated street racing took about six months, beginning around Jan 31, 2020, when prosecutors allege that Abdallah and Sean Stuart, 36, raced each other through Orange County. — AFP

Rushdan Abdallah’s videos on YouTube have been viewed by millions and offer an up-close glimpse of car culture in Southern California: getting caught in the middle of a police chase, sampling new vehicle models and street racing with other drivers as the camera rolls (the odometer blurred).

But in December, Abdallah's page – with more than 220,000 subscribers – abruptly went dormant. After weeks without new videos, Abdallah said he “had to make an update” and revealed what was going on: Police had recently arrived at his Lake Forest residence with a search warrant.
