The youths wouldn’t wait for shoppers to get out of their vehicles and then followed them into stores, the patrons said. They cursed at people who turned them down. As brazen as the bullying was how they obtained the confections. They stole it from stores on the other side of the street, police said. Authorities were swarmed with calls from both sides of M-43.
