British store owners seeking to drive away obnoxious, congregating teenagers have turned to security consultant Howard Stapleton's recent invention, similar to a dog whistle, that emits a high-frequency sound audible to most teens but few older people. "The Mosquito" (it's "small and annoying," Stapleton told a New York Times reporter, who vouched that she couldn't hear it, either) emits what one merchant called a pulsating chirp, not painful but surely irritating. A professor of neurophysiology verified that the ability to hear high frequency dissipates with age but that some people in their 20s and 30s could probably still hear it.

Cornwell clung to their car's windshield wipers for about a mile--at speeds he estimated to be 70 to 80 mph--before the driver pulled into a mobile home park and the women fled. The suspects were later arrested on charges of aggravated robbery-felonious assault and theft. Perfume-cologne and other items were found in the car, police said.
