On 9-11-2020 at 2231 hours, via security video, the east clerk observed a group of 10-15 outside the East Precinct, throwing garbage over the fence. Knowing a previous night this same activity was followed with an attempt to light the items on fire, officers responded outside. A group was walking eastbound on Pine St. Officers followed the group, and they eventually began moving back towards the precinct. The group was dressed in all black with faces covered and some with backpacks and helmets. They were also pushing a large cart that they were throwing items into that they collect along the way. Items included cones, sidewalk signs, and more garbage. Concerned there would be an attempt to ignite items on fire at the precinct, officers moved in to seize the cart full of debris. The group abandoned the cart and took off running into the park. Officers stopped following the group at this point. No arrests made, no force used, and no damage to the precinct other than garbage left behind.
