Detectives in Florida are on the hunt for a group of teenagers whose nighttime escapade on a local golf course resulted in severe damage, leaving the manicured greens marred by deep tire tracks and incurring thousands of dollars in repair costs.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:17 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, at Weston Hills Golf Course, as reported by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO).
Upon responding to reports of suspicious activity, deputies discovered extensive damage to the course’s greens. A witness informed officers that several juveniles had been recklessly riding motorized bikes and a golf cart across the course.
Local authorities released a video capturing the chaos, allegedly showing the teenagers careening through the golf course with little regard for the property, which officials estimate will require substantial funds to restore.
The witness recounted seeing the teens speed up, then stop suddenly, skidding across the greens and leaving noticeable damage in their wake.
At least four teens are seen riding the motorized bikes across the course, while several others are seen driving a golf cart directly on the greens, an area strictly off-limits due to the risk of damage.
Authorities said the behavior caused approximately $3,000 in damage, based on an initial assessment by golf course staff.
The Weston Hills Golf Course, a well-known facility in the area, features two 18-hole championship courses and covers over 300 acres of land.
The sheriff’s department has classified the incident as criminal mischief and is working to identify those involved.
Officials have not released descriptions of the juveniles but say the video evidence may help generate leads.
Anyone with information about the identities of the juveniles is urged to contact BSO Weston District Detective Maria Ropain at 954-626-4005. Tips can also be submitted through the SaferWatch app.
