‘Expect to be arrested’: Police warn teen ‘takeover’ troublemakers to stay away from Town Center at Aurora

Police are increasing patrol officers and special units at the Town Center at Aurora mall this weekend amid rumors of a teen “takeover” event.

“Aurora Police is taking this seriously,” read a social media post from the law enforcement agency. “If you’re coming to shop or spend time with family — welcome. If you’re coming to cause disruption — expect to be arrested. We are operating under a zero-tolerance approach.”

About two weeks ago, hundreds of teens descended on Northfield Mall in a coordinated event that resulted in physical fights and disruption to businesses, according to police.

The Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance closed early two weekends ago in anticipation of another planned teen “takeover.”

The Aurora Police Department said it will also be monitoring other retail locations across the city.
