Coordinated teen takeovers reported across U.S. cities in public venues
Multiple incidents of large groups of teenagers gathering in public spaces—malls, parks, restaurants, and beaches—have been reported across U.S. cities in recent months, with some escalating to violence and criminal activity. Law enforcement and city officials have issued warnings about the phenomenon, which appears to be organized partly through social media. Specific incidents cited include a May 16 Chipotle takeover in Washington, DC, a March incident in Chicago's Hyde Park, and events in Detroit and Rochester.
