So here you're installing a mosquito device outside of your venue? A device that produces constant noize pollution in a common street? I can surely see how somebody should complain to police, and they surely should confiscate that device and write you a fine. It's strange if that would not happen.
Also:
> ...a group of teenagers have taken to hanging out outside your store...
There's some kind of weird narrative here, because I've never heard things like this happening where I live. Not once.
> The teenagers end up playing football or skating or something, not intimidating people
Why won't they do that in a first place? If they also enjoy destroying bins and drawing gravity they can surely do that in ten minutes or so, doing all the damage and avoiding too much nuisance from your device? I can't imagine teenagers hanging in one place all the time, won't that be extremelly boring?

- guard-of-terra 10y agoIt seems that you've got yourself a case of "social debt", not unlike the "technical debt" in software projects. Spoiler: No, it's not solved by sweep-overs.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoIt happens where I live, a poorer city in the UK. Sometimes it's a very similar thing outside people's houses. Have you ever been asked to buy alcohol by underage kids as you approach a shop? If not then you probably don't live in an area where things like this happen (or alcohol laws in you country are more liberal).
- guard-of-terra 10y agoNo, but I was once asked to buy some fireworks for them. As a matter of fact I did :) I still don't understand why they would do that constantly and in one spot. That's weird and non-teenagery.
- PepeGomez 10y agoI think you don't realize how loud these things are. The whole street becomes painful to walk on.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoWhy don't you complain to authorities?
- PepeGomez 10y agoIt's apparently legal to use.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoThen somebody should totally install such a device near the shop owner's home. Encompass perhaps.
