Police arrested two teens causing a disturbance at the Cinemark movie theater in Pittsfield Township on Friday.

Police were called about 11:15 p.m. April 17 to 4100 Carpenter Road after teens at the location were reported to be causing issues, Pittsfield Township Deputy Police Chief Gordy Schick said.

The two 15-year-old girls from Ypsilanti were running in and out of movie theaters, causing a distraction for other movie-goers, Schick said.

He said the theater issued about 50 people refunds because the teens interrupted their viewings.

The teens were trespassed from the property and arrested for disturbing the peace, Schick said. They were released to a legal guardian and cited.

A complaint will be submitted to the juvenile division of the prosecutor's office, he said.

Theater management has told police that parents seem to be treating the movie theater as a baby-sitting service, Schick said.

The incident follows one in February in which a group of about 100 teens caused a series of disturbance and fights at the theater and surrounding locations after watching the recent "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" movie.
