30 = Terrace Review —— Wednesday, November 6, 199]

H al lowe en = Continued from page 1 —

gangs of youths started pelting
them with fireworks and eggs.
At that point, he says, the
officers seemed to disappear,
apparently choosing to monitor
the situation from patrol cars.
Between 10:30 and 11 p.m. the
groups of youths gathered into a
single force in the McDonald’s

parking lot and moved to the -

main entrance of the Skeena
Mall. Sullivan estimated the size
of the crowd at 150, adding that
they were throwing eggs and
fireworks at anything that
moved. A few duelled amongst
themselves, trading shots with
roman candles.

Shortly before 11 p.m. the
youths barricaded Lakelse Ave.
with shopping carts. At first
there were 20 to 30 carts, but
_ when motorists using the side-
walk skirted the barricade more
shopping carts were added and
the street was effectively sealed.

Sullivan subsequently saw a
pickup truck approach the barri-
cade from the Ottawa St. end
and get pelted with fireworks
and eggs; the ‘heavy-set driver
chose to confront his assailants.
This, says Sullivan, was the
turning point, the point when the
crowd of youths turned from
nasty to mean.

Although he was some distance
away, Sullivan says he could see
that the owner of the vehicle
was obviously very angry. He
entered the gang of youths,
apparently to administer a little
discipline. The crowd scattered
but not before the motorist
grabbed one of the youths and
began hitting him.

And at this point, says Sulli-
van, the group of youths turned
into a gang of kids just looking
for trouble, "A pack of animals
who smelled blood."

The youths then turned their
vengeance on businesses in the
4700 block of Lakelse. Using
rocks and ice from the Ottawa
relocation job they began attack-
ing storefront windows causing
thousands of dojlars in damage.
The Tillicum Theatre alone is
facing a bill of about $6,000 for
an entrance door and three store-
front :windows.

Also.at the Tillicum Theatre, a
large rock was reported to have
been thrown from ground ievel
with such force that it penetrated
two panes of glass in a second

story window and left a large
dent and shards of glass

embedded in a steel door some

distance from the window.

Also hit were First Choice

Travel next door to the theatre,

Electrolux and TNJ Electronics

across the street, and the liquor
store. At least one item of mer-
chandise was taken from either
NTI Electronics or Electrolux.
The liquor store remained secure
with a hole about five inches in
diameter in one pane of glass,
apparently caused by a large
rock.

After the brief frenzy the
youths began breaking up into
smaller groups and drifting
away. Several of these smaller
groups were stopped and ques-
tioned by police.

In retrospect, says Terrace
RCMP Staff Sgt. John Velde-
man, most people would change
a few things in their reaction to
a particular situation if they
could. But looking back at this
particular event, he says there is
little that could be changed.
Once the crowd had congregated
they were difficult to control,
says Veldeman, and the reaction
by the police helped discourage
many of the youths much faster
than direct intervention might
have.

There are alternatives that
might have been considered.
Soaking the crowd with fire
hoses is one. But there were a
few leaders and many followers
who might have been injured,
and that might have created a

‘RCMP would have compromised

much bigger problem. Also, by
calling in local firefighters, the

the safety of professional and
volunteer firemen.

Tear gas might have been
used. But that too might have
caused injuries and the scars of —
the event might have lasted a
long time. “Under the circum-
stances,” he says. "I believe we
did very well."

Veldeman says there were to
things that worked in favour of
the youths: a plentiful supply of

insecure shopping carts in front. Jim

of the Skeena Mall and an
unlimited supply of ammunition
— rocks — at the Ottawa St.
construction site.

To date, an 18-year-old youth
has been charged as'a result of

‘the event and charges against

other youths are pending. Also,
a piece of merchandise stolen
from a storefront window has
been recovered and another
youth is expected tc be charged
with theft.

He adds that anyone with in-
formation that may identify
persons causing damage during

the event should contact police. doesn’t happen again.

The source of the information
can remain confidential if that is
the choice of the informant.

As a closing note, Veldeman
says parents should be concerned
about where their teenage
children were Hallowe’en night,
and warns things will be much
different next year. Terrace
RCMP won’t tolerate’ this kind
of behaviour, he says, and
they’re taking steps to see that it
