What does Loitering around mean?
「Loitering around」というフレーズは、特定の目的や目的地がないまま、ある場所にぶらぶらと滞在することを指します。つまり、ただ時間をつぶすために場所にとどまっている状態を表します。
例えば、学校の前で友達と話しているグループや、ショッピングモールで商品を買わずにウィンドウショッピングをしている人々が「loitering around」していると言えます。
このフレーズは、しばしば警察や店舗の管理者などが、不審な行動をしていると見なされる人々に対して使用されることもあります。そのため、場所に長時間留まることが問題となる場合もあります。

"Loitering" (you dont need the word *around*) means hanging around -- usually at a business -- when you don't have any business there. You are not a customer, you are not going to buy anything. you are just... THERE.
and might cause trouble. so the business does not want you there.
