PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A large group of rowdy teenagers damaged and jumped on cars in Burlington County, New Jersey over the weekend.

Neighbors told police there was a large group of kids at the Westampton Rec Center for an event Friday night. Witnesses said several teens walked down the street and vandalized cars.

“While I was doing dishes, my husband just came running to me,” Tatiana Iglesias told NBC10. “Our cameras were all going off in our house, and he’s like, ‘Call the cops right now. They’re on top of all the cars outside.’”

Iglesias said the hoods and roofs of her family’s cars were dented and the mirrors were smashed.

She said it was the second time they called 911 that night about large gatherings of teens.

Westampton police said they are still investigating.
