The closure led to large groups roving in the neighborhood and Wawa, police said. But Haverford Township Police kept them moving out of the area with help from Marple and Radnor police.

Multiple arrests were made, but no weapons were reported or recovered, police said. Additional information on the arrests wasn't immediately available.

Police say no further issues occurred.

The St. Denis Fun Fair goes back to the late 1960s, according to the fair's website. Saturday was the fair's last-scheduled day this year.
