    North Stonington―Complaints over illegal street racing and night time gatherings at state commuter parking lots have led to a crackdown here, according to state police.

    State police from Troop E in Montville, in conjunction with the town’s Resident State Trooper’s Office, converged at several of the gatherings on the evening of July 23.
