Boston Police said they would go after miscreants in local parks after vandals cut down trees and left behind sex devices at the Hynes Field playground in West Roxbury. And this morning, police report on the arrest of a gaggle of allegedly boozy teens at Fallon Field in Roslindale around 11 p.m. yesterday:

[O]fficers observed a group of individuals huddled together near the basketball courts. As officers approached the area from Walworth St. they observed the suspects knocking over beer cans and placing plastic cups containing alcohol on the ground. Officers also observed several empty containers of alcohol on the ground. Officers approached and questioned the suspects and found them to be minors in possession of alcohol. The officers smelled a strong odor of alcohol on the breath of the suspects.

The alleged loitering louts were taken down to Area E-5 over in West Roxbury for the obligatory phone calls to mom and dad.
