INGLEWOOD (CNS) - Two people made their way into the Clippers' under- construction arena in Inglewood -- shooting baskets on a practice court and deploying a fire extinguisher -- then posted the antics on social media.
The video, posted online earlier this week, shows two male suspects wandering through the $2 billion arena, which is expected to be completed in time for next season.
The pair can be seen roaming through the construction site, eventually making their way onto what appears to be a basketball court, where one of the trespassers picks up a ball and starts shooting some baskets. At one point, one of the culprits grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays it at one of the basketball hoops. The pair also appear to make it to the building's roof.
The trespassers make no effort to conceal their faces or identities, and video of their antics was posted onto a TikTok account that has previous footage of break-ins at nearby SoFi Stadium.
Inglewood Mayor James Butts said officials have identified the trespassers and their parents.
"It will be very clear to these young men -- and to people who are TikTok followers -- that you have a moment of TikTok greatness followed by a little bit of misery," Butts told ABC7. "And so we don't play around with these things."
