PEABODY, MA -- Police quickly identified two teens they say threw a chair from a second story balcony at the Northshore Mall after appealing for the public's help through social media. Police say the teen videotaped themselves. No one was injured.

"They were crucified in the court of public opinion, and will fare no better in juvenile court, but the court of mom and dad is what we bet they fear the most," Peabody Police said in a Facebook post.
