Police had a rough night in East Liberty on Sunday.
A large mob of teens damaged several stores along Penn Avenue.
Our Channel 11 News crew was listening to the police scanner when they heard a call to 911 for hundreds of teens causing trouble in a strip mall.
Police said they went inside the McDonald's, Trader Joes, and finally ended up at the new Target.
Officials said it's fortunate that no one was hurt during the chaos.
When reporter, Dave Bondy, arrived on scene, police were everywhere. At least a dozen officers were ordering hundreds of teenagers to leave the area.

Remember when they opened a Home Depot in East Liberty? opens to much fanfare. It was going to be a boom to the area.
Well, It was being robbed blind. My sister was a Police officer at zone 5 and told me it wont last long.
I think that store is closed now.
