There was a similar phase in Regina, except they liked a specific year and model range of Oldsmobiles. The gang members somehow managed to schedule joyrides when certain Justices of the Peace were on duty. Catch and Release, except one night the cops happened to get a different JP, and they were able to pin a couple hundred priors on one individual and keep him in cells for weeks until his trial for the arresting offence. Then one by one the rest of the kids were rolled up and sentenced as adults or for the more serious offences. Problem solved.
