Dozens of juveniles were detained Saturday night in Carson, California, amid a major disturbance at a shopping mall.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of a large gathering of about 200 juveniles at the SouthBay Pavilion Mall around 5:20 p.m., the department wrote on social media.
During the gathering, juveniles lit a garbage can on fire and set off illegal fireworks inside a store at the mall, according to the sheriff’s department. It is unclear what led to the gathering.
The detained juveniles will be required to appear in court at a future date, the sheriff’s department wrote on social media.
