'Moons' Over Barrington Shopping Plaza
Four teen boys admit they were 'mooning' drivers from the shopping plaza roof last Wednesday.
Drivers got an eyeful last Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 9, if they glanced skyward when they motored past the Staples store in the Barrington Shopping Plaza.
Four teen-age boys, one age 15 and three age 14, were reportedly “mooning” vehicles from the roof at about 3:45 pm.
A Barrington patrol officer responded to a call about “suspicious” subjects on the roof and found three of the alleged “mooners” at the bus stop on County Road not far from the shopping plaza.
