Okay, it's time to put at least two officers with their dogs at each of these trouble spots.  But have the officers in plain clothes and at separate areas of the stations.  Not every canine officer's partner is a German shepherd, but every dog has the same kind of teeth.

These kids being able to hit two stations in the same evening is an absolute disgrace.  But if they're juveniles, they'll get what amounts to a slap on the wrist and no mark on their records.  Sometimes the whole "juvenile" designation is a travesty.  They wanna act like some kind of tough adult, then let the punishment fit.  A butt-whipping would get their attention first, then give them something to do that'll take the edge off all that energy they seem to have in too great a quantity.  If any of my kids had ever been involved in such activity when they were teenagers, my sentiment would've been, "You stepped in it this time.  No punishment I could give will be bad enough, but you'll get it, anyway, on top of what the law hands down."

This isn't harmless kid stuff.  One of these nights, this group is gonna tangle with the wrong person or people, i.e., someone legally carrying a concealed weapon.  Somebody will get seriously hurt, maybe killed.  You go looking for trouble, even under the name of "just having fun," you're gonna find more than you ever bargained for.  It's stupid behavior that could lead to a waste of life.
