"We were packing up our stuff to move to our new house and these punk kids decided they wanted to have fun by scaring the daylights out of my daughter who has severe autism, this is the reason why were moving, we are tired of countless harassment by the teenagers in the Burton neighborhood, we have had so many things stolen from our porch and our garage broken into many times that we needed to leave and move somewhere much safer." says Arthur. The last call came in around 8:00 PM for a group of three teens riding bikes and shooting at a residents car and house in the 2400 block of Downing Avenue in Burton. "I'm tired of people harassing my grandma for no reason, she minds her business why can't they mind theirs." says Kyle Baker who was visiting his grandmother on Downing the night the harassment took place. Erie Police received footage from a neighbor in the 1800 block of Glendale Avenue in Burton of footage of the teens shooting at houses and got a clear photo of their faces. Erie Police is continuing to investigate and are trying to locate the teens to see if they live in the Burton neighborhood or somewhere else in the Erie area.
