So I work in a grocery store in my local shopping. So for yrs we've had young kids over the summer bad behavior running through the store, playing on handicap carts, possible stealing etc. However this past year its the worst it's ever been. It's not a small group either. Group of 20-30 kids close to Middle Schoolers to maybe Freshman in HS. They go off in packs of 5-6 with backpacks and bikes. They constantly steal (Local rite aid back in may had condoms and other things stolen) and we've had them steal fireworks, alcohol and other things. Constantly running around the store and lately destroying things on the shelf. A customer who I'm good drinking buddies with told me back in June a group of them were riding in the shopping center in-between the cars who are driving etc. Well they pulled out in front a Senior citizen and taunted her, calling her names, flipping her off etc. My Buddy told me he asked which one it was and went after the kids chasing them away, threatening to call the cops etc. He even checked on the older lady who was shook and got a nice ovation for being a good citizen
They are now uncovering manholes in the area and running roughshot on the community. Someone posted pictures of the kids doing this in our Facebook group community page where I found out the kids behavior is even worse and they are incredible rude and some were shocked when they scolded them for the behavior the language used. The post was taken down as the page doesn't allow pictures of minors without consent on there.
Anyway I found out that the parents or at least some of them know about their kids behavior and aren't doing a dam thing. Also asked the admin of the page if commissioners were called and if local police involved. He said the police know about it and the cops are looking for them. It's gotten so bad that shoppers in the stores have complained about it and I told my store security, my Store directors and PIC and people who know about them that the people I talked to who talked to the local cops told them to just call them now if the see he kids. Just tell dispatch that we believe we have local kids who they are looking for in our store up to no good and they'll send someone immediately. Some believe they are also responsible for numerous bike thefts that have happened over the past year as well.
I just don't think enough is being done and we do have a security person who patrols the shopping center but I think we need a patrol or two at least going by the shopping at least once an hr to check up on things. Has anyone else here experienced anything similar with kids in their township? What was done about it? I'm at the point of contacting my ward Commissioner who my family is non to fond of (Non political reasons or of his commissioner job) which I hate contacting. I have a friend who is a commissioner in another ward I can bring this up to and see if anything else can be done as well.
