The Naperville Police Department has taken the unusual step of warning parents about a potential gathering of teens in downtown Naperville this Friday.
On the department’s social media platforms, parents were notified “of an online ‘trend’ encouraging a large teen gathering in our downtown this Friday evening.
“While we encourage everyone to take advantage of the amenities our wonderful city has to offer, media reports in recent weeks have shown that these teen gatherings aren’t always just harmless meetups,” the message continued. “They can quickly lead to unsafe situations and even criminal activity.”
The department indicated that it will have a large presence of officers in the area and that there will be zero tolerance for trespassing, disorderly conduct, or any behavior that puts others at risk.
