Centerville police want teens to ‘knock it off and grow up’ — and stop harassing homeowners

The Centerville Police Department wants some wayward teenage boys quit harassing homeowners. And they're hoping someone can identify the boys so that police can “help persuade them to knock it off and grow up.”

According to a post on Facebook, a home in the southeast part of Centerville has been under siege because “for some crazy reason, teenage boys like to harass the nice people who live there.” The teens have reportedly been shutting off power to the home and throwing water balloons at the windows late at night, causing the homeowners “alarm and fear.”

The harassment has been going on “way too long,” and it’s a “sad situation that we would like to help stop,” CPD posted on Facebook, along with a couple of pictures of one of the boys — albeit pictures of him with his hoodie pulled up.
