They began their copycat crime spree by walking the streets of several neighborhoods, breaking windows, looting stores and setting fires.
There was also looting of stores in the downtown area at Monroe and 17th Streets and windows were smashed in the Miracle Mile Shopping Center in west Toledo.
Also on alert, and ready for deployment was the Ohio National Guard and they got their chance the next day when 500 guardsmen were mobilized and put on standby at the Secor Road Armory in the event that Toledo Police needed their assistance.
Many stores and bars and taverns were also asked to close, while some Community Traction bus routes were shut down through some neighborhoods.
After several motorists were attacked and seriously injured by rock and bottle throwing teens, police opted to block off some streets in area of known trouble spots.
