GURNEE, Ill. (AP) - Police in north-suburban Chicago are asking the public to help them find nine people who face charges after a Christmas Eve mall fight.

Gurnee police on Thursday said the arrest warrants were issued for seven adults and two juveniles on charges ranging from mob action to aggravated battery. The (Waukegan) News Sun reports (http://trib.in/2jDBNkM ) the charges result from a fight on Dec. 24 between two groups of people at Gurnee Mills mall.

Authorities say prosecutors obtained the arrest warrants after police finished their investigation using security camera footage, YouTube video and help from Waukegan police and mall security.

Police say the fight stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the two parties who happened to see each other at the mall that day. Police say they are "actively looking" for the suspects.
