Two Men Pulling Signs Out of the Ground at St. Mary's, Then 15 Teens Walking the State Park

A pair of complaints out of 400 Mill Street at the senior apartments, an hour apart, put a cruiser on the block for most of the evening

At 18:24 Amherst dispatch sent a car to 400 Mill Street[*], the senior apartments known on the air as St. Mary's Common, for what a resident said had happened about half an hour earlier: two white males, one in a blue shirt and jeans, pulling signs out of the ground. The complainant was waiting at the front entrance.

By 19:21 the same officer was back on the air at the neighboring state-park property tied to that same address — “there's a large group of 15 teenagers just walking around” — with the residents complaining that their eyes always seem to be on a call-back when a big group of kids assembles.

This is now the sixth dispatch to 400 Mill Street in the past ninety days; the calls describe a specific senior-housing block that has been drawing patterns of youth-related complaints, not routine building alarm churn.
