Juveniles Run Amok In Northeast, Cause Stores To Close
by Alex Lloyd Gross
If you need to get gas or food at a WAWA tonight, along the Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia, you can’t. All WAWA’s are closed for the night along the blvd, due to gangs of teenage thugs running wild, trashing the store, stealing items.
In the far Northeast, at least 15 police officers from around the area were dispatched to Roosevelt Blvd. near Byberry Road, where hundreds of teenagers were causing a disturbance in WAWA and also to the other stores in the area.
At one point, a nursing home was the target of some teenagers, and police were called. Officers stood by as the rowdy kids were put on SEPTA buses and shipped out of the area. It is unknown if any arrests were made.
