(WPXI) – Seven people,including a Washington County man, are facing charges for trespassing in the old Century III Mall in West Mifflin. West Mifflin police say the trespassers accessed the dilapidated building through a boarded-up door on Tuesday night. They were all taken into custody and transported to the Allegheny County Jail. 23 year old Jared Chambers of Canonsburg was among those charged with criminal trespass and criminal mischief. Officials say the property has become a public nuisance and a magnet for trespassers, and last week, the owners asked the court for 30 days to continue demolition plans for the property. A fire broke out in the blighted property last April and several people have been charged with trespassing there. In June, a teenager fell through the roof while filming a video.
