GFP received tips from residents Wednesday night around 9pm describing a large group of high school age youth hassling adults on Greenwich Avenue, and later talking about creating “havoc” at CVS before heading to that store.
On Thursday, Lt Martin O’Reilly said Greenwich Police received calls Wednesday night regarding unruly youths/teens in the Central Greenwich Business District.
O’Reilly said there were reports of youths throwing rocks in the area of Greenwich Common, by the Board of Education building.
Also, he said there was a report of a group of youths arguing with a woman with a dog, as well as the incident in front of CVS.
Further, he said there was an additional report of several separate large groups of youths on Greenwich Ave that were simply unruly and rude.
O’Reilly said responding officers dispersed the groups and moved them along.
“Going forward, as there seems to be an uptick of issues involving youths on Greenwich Avenue,” O’Reilly said. “Additional officers will be deployed to the area and more positive enforcement will be taken.”
O’Reilly said the goal of the police dept is to keep the central business district safe, passable and enjoyable for all of our citizens.
