GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — The Gwinnett County Police Department said a series of burglaries at Urban Air Adventure locations led to the arrests of 11 people, all under the age of 21.
Police said there were seven incidents at Urban Air Adventure Park locations under investigation since June 4.
They believe they are connected to a social media trend encouraging people to break into businesses after hours to play arcade games and damage property.
Another four juveniles connected to the burglaries were also taken into custody for a total of 15 suspects.
