A spokesperson for the Clay County Sheriff’s Office said there were no arrests or injuries reported on Saturday night.

ORANGE PARK, Fla. — Flashing blue lights filled the Orange Park Mall on Saturday night as Clay County Sheriff’s deputies worked to get a group of hundreds of teenagers under control.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office posted Saturday morning they heard about a reunion happening at the mall that they weren’t invited to, and that they were prepared to party crash.

And that’s exactly what they did — when a First Coast News crew arrived around the time the mall closed at 8 p.m., there were dozens of police cars outside and filling the parking lot across the street, with deputies surrounding groups of teenagers.

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said they responded to a group of teens causing “disturbances” at the mall.

She said deputies directed traffic and tried to get all of the kids across the street. Then, they made a post asking parents to come pick them up.

“I just pulled in to take a video because I couldn’t believe all the police activity,” said Louise Veiga, who lives near the mall. “I have a grandson that’s not allowed to come in this area because of different things his mom has heard.”

The spokesperson with the sheriff’s office said there were no arrests or injuries reported.
