Boy Band Nearly Causes Riot, Cops Respond

Cops were called to the Best Buy store in Falls Township Wednesday night for a group of out-of-control girls flooding the store to get a glimpse of an up-and-coming boy band.

Lt. Hank Ward said police responded to the store and got the crowd under control. No arrests were made and no citations were issued, he added.

Scanner traffic indicated that officers were dispatched to the store at around 7:30 p.m. because a group of 70 to 80 teens, mostly girls, were attempting to enter the store through a back entrance.

Pop trio Emblem3, who gained attention after appearing on reality TV, came to the Falls store Wednesday evening to sign copies of their new CD “Nothing to Lose.”

The event was meant for customers who bought the new CD at the store and had received a wristband. The band’s website warns: “No posed photos with the band.”
