Charges against seven people who were accused of trespassing at the abandoned Century III Mall have been dropped.

Jared Chambers, 23, of Canonsburg; Nathaniel Riley, 19, of Brentwood; Noah Joseph, 22, of Pittsburgh; Heather Mason, 21, of Pittsburgh; Austin Seik, 25, of Hookstown; Caden Desimone, 18, of Elizabeth; and Lucas Gonzalez, 21, of Pittsburgh all had preliminary hearings on Friday.

The seven suspects were all charged with criminal trespassing/breaking into a structure and criminal mischief in March. Those charges were dropped at the preliminary hearings.

At the time charges were filed, court documents said they had been in the mall to take pictures of the property.

That incident was just one of many where people have been charged with trespassing at the mall.
