Philadelphia police on Monday announced another arrest and an additional suspect who is wanted in connection with a series of illegal car meetups in the city in September.

Police have an active arrest warrant for 19-year-old Samuel Merrill Hoffman, of Reading, who they say was the No. 2 promoter of the car meetups, creating content for social media and making money off of it.

Inspector Raymond Evers said during a press conference Monday that investigators found out from another promoter who was arrested that influencers were making money from sharing lists of meetups on social media and selling advertising.
