On Thursday afternoon, June 5, a group of 3 girls and 2 boys rode their bikes north on Whittier as they left Ellenberger Park. The 14-year-old boys turned east at the next block only to be called back by the girls who had been surrounded by at least a dozen older boys on bikes. The two boys returned to help the girls. After being punched in the head multiple times, the group forcibly took a bike from one of the boys. While most of the group left with the stolen bike, two members stayed back to prevent the victims from calling for help until the group was gone. A police report has been filed. Two weeks prior a 14-year-old boy was intimidated by a group of 4 older boys (not the same ones) while he was walking with a group of girls near the NW corner of Ellenberger . An officer patrolling nearby pulled up to the group causing the older boys to take off. Inquiry is being made into the level of security at the park. It appears we need to press for more. |
