Juvenile complaint. Approximately six juveniles were reported "gallon smashing" at Aldi, 750 Wildwood Road. The prank involves people filming each other pretending to slip and then smashing milk and juice containers as they fall to the floor of a grocery store. In this case, the juveniles refused to leave after smashing several milk cartons and sliding around in the mess. Using a license plate number from the vehicle the juveniles left in, police contacted one of the suspects and his mother. The juvenile said he was there but was not involved in creating the mess and would not turn over any names. He did agree to pay for the products that were destroyed.
