On Saturday night, a significant disturbance unfolded at the SouthBay Pavilion Mall in Carson, California, resulting in the detention of numerous juveniles. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department swiftly responded to reports of a large gathering of approximately 200 juveniles at the mall around 5:20 p.m.
During the gathering, the situation escalated as juveniles were reported to have lit a garbage can on fire and set off illegal fireworks inside a store within the mall premises. The exact cause or motive behind the gathering remains unclear at this time.
