Disorderly Juveniles; Mutual Aid – Community Advisory

On April 2, 2012, at approximately 12:27 a.m., Takoma Park Police were notified by Prince George’s County Police of a large fight that occurred in the catering hall in the 1400 block of University Boulevard with a large group of juveniles ending up in the parking lot of that location and on to Holton Lane. Upon arrival, Takoma Park Police were advised that Prince George’s County had dispersed a crowd of approximately 200-300 juveniles. As a result of that effort, groups of juveniles were observed scattered in the parking lot of a supermarket in the 7600 block of New Hampshire Avenue. These groups were ordered out of the area and back into Prince George’s County heading north on New Hampshire Avenue. Shortly after, Takoma Park Police were advised that a large group of approximately 50 subjects were fighting in the street in the area of Glenside Drive and Jackson Avenue. Upon arrival, responding units observed a large group of juveniles fleeing into Becca Lilly Park and east on Jackson Avenue heading towards New Hampshire Avenue and the University Boulevard corridor. No fights or violent behavior were witnessed by Takoma Park Police officers. Officers maintained a presence in the area, with assistance from the Montgomery County Police 3rd District and the Park Police, to ensure the crowds dispersed. The juveniles continued to be monitored as they left the area with no further incidents. Takoma Park Police together with Prince George's County Police will follow up on these incidents.
