PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The city’s efforts to crack down on mob violence in Center City appears to be working.

In all, police took 72 teens into custody this weekend. 50 on Friday night and 22 Saturday evening.

Mayor Michael Nutter attended a bowling tournament for teens last night in Juniata. The event was organized by city leaders who plan to host more events for teens looking for something to do.

“There are a ton of positive things they can do,” said Mayor Nutter. “We have to step up, we the city government and the entire city need to step up do more. They’re (referring to teens) are trying to tell us something and we need to listen.”

“Those who want to do good things; we’re going to provide a lot of opportunities, a lot of options, a lot of places for that. Those who don’t either need to get the message real quick or there is an alternative and it’s a negative one for them,” said the mayor.
