LAKEWOOD, Calif.—Hundreds of rowdy juveniles gathered at Lakewood Center Mall Sept. 23, leading sheriff’s deputies headquartered nearby to call for help from other areas to shut down the area and send them away.
A social media post led about 300 juveniles to gather starting at 2 p.m. at the mall at Lakewood Boulevard and Candlewood Street, said Deputy Tracy Koerner of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. The juveniles came and went throughout the afternoon.
