Two juveniles were seen breaking into Intuit Dome – the unfinished $2billion home of NBA franchise the LA Clippers – in the middle of the night and causing havoc in a video which has gone viral on TikTok.
The teens gained unlawful access to the arena in Inglewood, California, where they recorded themselves shooting some hoops, spraying fire extinguishers and jumping over staircases.
They managed to make their way in by climbing an orange ladder outside the construction grounds, before strolling through empty hallways and entering the incomplete bleachers.
After posing in front of the camera, the pair then went downstairs and stumbled upon what appears a practice basketball court which is not yet finished.
In the video, which has had over 150,000 views on TikTok, they are seen shooting basketballs and even using a work bucket to try a slam dunk.
One of the trespassers, who was wearing the pants of rival team the LA Lakers, then sprays a fire extinguisher at the hoop before attempting a shot.
The rest of the video shows them jumping over staircases and making their way to the roof of Intuit Dome, where they took some panoramic shots of the city’s skyline.
The two teens and their respective parents have already been identified by police, according to Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts.
‘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. And so we don’t play around with these things,’ Butts told ABC 7 on Friday.
He then added: ‘We know who the young men are. We have identified them and their parents, and they will be talked to probably tomorrow or the next day.’
Inglewood police are still said to be investigating the break-in, though there was no sign of any vandalism inside the arena.
Dailymail.com has reached out to Inglewood police for more information.
Butts also said that security at the unfinished arena will be ramped up in the wake of the incident.
The juveniles involved face up to 6 months in county jail and a fine of up to $1,000 if found guilty of trespassing, yet it is unclear whether any charges have been made.
Other videos posted on the trespassers’ TikTok account shows them performing similar break-ins at Dodgers Stadium – where they pulled it off in broad daylight – and SoFi Stadium.
Intuit Dome is set to open in August of this year, almost two years since the Clippers broke ground on their new $2bn, 18,000-capacity home back in September 2021.
