Violent teen takeovers prompt ramped up security measures as summer officially begins
WASHINGTON (TNND) — From inside a Washington D.C. Chipotle, to Narragansett beach in Rhode Island, and outside Charlotte Beach in Rochester, New York, swarms of violent teen disturbances are taking over cities across the nation. The recent surge in incidents nationwide is now prompting leaders to step in.
Federal, state and local officials have vowed to use every tool at their disposal to curb the teen mayhem and allow businesses to bring in money. That includes increasing law enforcement, scanning social media, and deploying messaging campaigns.
It was simply destruction of property. It was a takeover of a restaurant by individuals who felt like they could get away with it. Well, they’re not going to get away with it,” said Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
In response to the Chipotle mayhem in mid-May, Pirro sent a message this week to both teens and their parents.
We will arrest you and where we can, we will prosecute you aggressively and we will prosecute your parents,” Pirro said.
Meanwhile, in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, the mayor spoke out as well. He said the shore town is pulling out all the stops to make sure teens don’t take over this holiday weekend. Vowing to deploy the FBI and SWAT if needed.
We’re going to summons you and summon your parent. This has got to stop. Not only in Seaside, nationwide,” mayor Tommy Vaz told Fox News Digital.
City officials in Long Branch also implemented a curfew and beefed up security after hundreds of young adults illegally took over the pier village area this week. Spreading from the boardwalk to the streets, the violence led to six arrests and over one hundred officers being dispatched to the area. Plus, local officials in Rochester, New York, announced that security changes are being made at Charlotte beach after those large fights broke out over the weekend. Including new lighting and operating hours.
Anyone who engages in this type of violence, in any vandalism, assaults, any criminal activity in county parks, is going to be held accountable for their actions,” said Adam Bello, County Executive of Monroe County.
