No youth problem says police chief in Manchester
Manchester police chief Manfred Wessner told selectmen there is no youth problem, only isolated vandalism comparable to other small towns. He described a group of seven to eight teens at the Leisure Time Arcade and Murphy’s Donuts, noting loud juke box music and car vandalism but said hanging out is not a crime without a specific complaint. Residents argued for teen recreation options while noting the arcade serves as a focal point. the church recently asked groups to disband.
