00:00Seven teenagers just broke into an abandoned eight-story hotel to explore.
00:04Nobody could have scripted what the officers were about to find.
00:08What's going on? Do you have a driver's license on you? What are you doing here at the hotel?
00:11I'm just chilling. I was taking a nap.
00:14Okay. Do you have an ID on you? Are you here by yourself?
00:17Yeah.
00:17Okay. Did you see people come in here? So tell me what you saw.
00:22I seen them.
00:23Through the window?
00:24Yeah, through the window.
00:25So like on this circle drive here?
00:27Yeah, yeah. Right over there. I saw them right there.
00:29So they were in like the lobby?
00:31Yeah, they were in the lobby.
00:33Yeah, you got to speak up. I can't hear you.
00:34I said, I just told you I was taking a nap.
00:38Why are you taking a nap here in the parking lot though?
00:41Because I was talking to the garage.
00:43I didn't go in there.
00:45I didn't wash. I woke up.
00:47Okay. They're not here with you at the hotel?
00:49No.
00:50You know there's cameras all over here, right?
00:53So I know if you're lying to me, right?
00:56Mm-hmm.
00:57There's two in there right now.
00:59They're walking out of this door.
01:04Yeah.
01:06There's two running west through this door.
01:08For sure, two confirmed inside.
01:14Both female black.
01:15They're both dressed in all black.
01:17Approximately 18 to 20 years old.
01:19So how many people are you here with?
01:20I'm not with them.
01:22You know lying to me isn't going to do you any good, right?
01:24I was waiting right here to pick them up.
01:27And what are they doing here?
01:29They want to destroy the building.
01:30Huh?
01:31I guess they're destroying the building.
01:34Step out of the vehicle for me.
01:36Step out of the vehicle for me.
01:38You're being detained right now.
01:40Hop out.
01:42Face the vehicle.
01:44Oh, there they go.
01:4510-4.
01:46They saw us and they ran back down.
01:48Right there.
01:48Look, right here.
01:54Two males, both gray sweatshirts, black pants.
01:58Sitting in the bar area.
01:59Have you been inside the building?
02:01Did you go inside the building at all?
02:02Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.
02:04I was trying to find them.
02:06Okay.
02:14Is there a reason you guys are here?
02:16I don't know, but I just came to pick them up.
02:19And they told me they didn't.
02:20You just came to pick them up?
02:21Yeah.
02:22You know, male and female.
02:24Males that have black do-rag.
02:25Gray sweatshirt.
02:26Female.
02:27Shorter black and red hair.
02:28Also gray sweatshirt.
02:29Walking west towards west side of the building.
02:32And note all four of them know that the police are out here and they refuse to exit.
02:38You got keys in the building, bro?
02:39Yeah, I got a key to get to that door right there.
02:41The bar?
02:42Yeah.
02:42Okay, can I have it?
02:43Yeah.
02:43That we saw the four go down and then we'll go clear the bottom basement first.
02:47And then from there, it's just a cat and mouse game.
02:50Officers locked down every exit and called in backup from Brookfield PD.
02:55Somewhere inside, 17s were really hoping they wouldn't be found.
02:58The world's most expensive game of hide-and-seek was about to begin.
03:05Well, it's also the police.
03:07Anybody inside?
03:08Come out with your hands up now.
03:10Well, it's also the police.
03:12Anybody inside?
03:13Make yourself known.
03:18Yeah, my fear is that we're just going to start dropping bodies every time we come across the stairwell or
03:23something.
03:24Police department!
03:28Don't speed it.
03:29Anybody in here, let us go.
03:36All those police departments in here, make yourself known.
03:40Technically burglary, but, you know, Rep Holt is hesitant to use his dog on prowlers and stuff because it's kids.
03:48Don't speed it.
03:49Anybody in here, let me know.
03:50You're under arrest.
03:52Don't speed it.
03:54God damn.
03:55Sam, hold long.
03:56Durrell, hold that way.
03:57I'm going to check in here.
03:58I'm not sure if this has been established yet, but my detainee says that he entered the building through the
04:04man door on the north side of the building by the loading dock.
04:24Where? Do they run?
04:25Down the right here.
04:32Down the right here.
04:33Six.
04:33We're in contact with two.
04:35How many more are in here?
04:37Well, there's a dog in here, so if they don't come out, they're going to get bit.
04:40So you might want to let them know they come out.
04:42How many more people?
04:44How many do y'all come with?
04:46Immunifiers, so that's a lot.
04:47None of them, like, as a pair, you know, you just walk around and you just score.
04:51So who all came in, who all came in at first?
04:54So we have three.
04:55Yeah, three left.
04:56Three or six for info.
04:57Per one of our detainees, there's a total of six.
05:01We currently have three in custody.
05:04And that's three, two on the inside, one with 360.
05:10360 was just having a conversation, and that's confirmed.
05:13So there should be two or three more outstanding.
05:17Police department, make yourself known!
05:28It's a police canine, if you don't come out, you will be bit!
05:36They said they were in pairs, but Flo's only got one.
05:45Police canine, if you don't come out, you will be bit!
05:48Flo's the PD, anybody's down here and let me know!
05:52How do you not know it's private property?
05:55You can't just walk into a hotel in the middle of the night.
05:58That's not in business.
06:08Just, man, I'm not going to argue with you.
06:11You know what you did is wrong.
06:13You know what you did is wrong.
06:15And now you're, now you have to deal with the consequences of it,
06:19and part of that is sitting with me.
06:25Yeah?
06:26Yeah.
06:27I think we got all of it.
06:28Got all of it?
06:29This goes back through here, yeah.
06:30So if it bothers you and you don't want to deal with the hassle,
06:34don't get arrested, man.
06:37Stay out of trouble.
06:38You got a job, which is good.
06:46Did you see Susan?
06:48No, I heard shuffling around, like, upstairs.
06:51I heard it.
06:51Upstairs?
06:52Yeah.
06:52Yeah, I heard shuffling around, like, I thought it was a huge, so...
06:56No, it was, like, 20 minutes ago.
06:5720 minutes ago?
07:00All the time, the police!
07:05All the time, the police!
07:06Anybody inside, make yourself phone!
07:08Okay, where are they?
07:10Yep.
07:10They're probably still in the basement.
07:12I thought I'd say, like, there's another...
07:13There's so many spots in that basement.
07:15The search felt like it had been going on forever.
07:18Then officers finally got a break, but not the kind they were expecting.
07:22Let's just say nobody in that room was dressed for the occasion.
07:26Show me your hands!
07:28Come out, both of you.
07:30Show me your hands.
07:32363, I've got two in the lobby.
07:34Get on the ground.
07:36Put your...
07:37Lay on the ground.
07:39Cooperative.
07:40Is there any more of you guys in here?
07:42How many...
07:43How many...
07:44How many total came in?
07:47Six?
07:57I don't know if you guys have seen my two girl restaurants.
08:00Your two girl restaurants?
08:01Yeah, they were, like, were hiding under a table.
08:04They were scared.
08:04It was like, oh, no, it's like, girl, it's better if we just come out because of what it's all.
08:07You're in there, like, coming out.
08:09Hiding under a table?
08:10Yeah.
08:11Where at?
08:11By the kitchen.
08:12By the kitchen?
08:13Yeah.
08:13Two girls?
08:15Okay.
08:15This is...
08:16What are you guys, uh, caregivers?
08:18Yeah.
08:18All right.
08:22Well, you are a trespasser.
08:24She said there's two girls near the kitchen.
08:26I need the tables.
08:27Two girls?
08:28Mm-hmm.
08:29Okay.
08:30The two that are still hiding?
08:32Yeah.
08:32The females?
08:33Yeah.
08:33Do you know their phone number?
08:34Uh, yeah.
08:36The Wawa tells the police department.
08:38Come out with your hands on top.
08:39We know you're in here.
08:42Police department, if you're inside the kitchen, make yourself known.
08:46There's a police canine.
08:47You will be bit.
08:48And one girl said that she knows the girl's number.
08:51All of them.
08:52But it's in her phone, and her phone is missing.
08:55She's at her.
08:55She doesn't know her phone.
08:57She's somewhere in here.
08:57Well, someone wasn't here.
08:59She's up.
09:00Come on out.
09:02Time to get it.
09:09Show me your hands.
09:10I got one.
09:11I got two in here.
09:12Show me your hands.
09:14Show me your hands.
09:15Both your hands.
09:21Over here.
09:22Get on the ground.
09:23Stay on the ground.
09:24Stay on the ground.
09:26I'm out of those.
09:28That's the perfume.
09:30You need the cup of water.
09:36With everyone finally in custody, officers sat down with each suspect one by one in interrogation
09:42room three.
09:43Seven people and seven explanations.
09:45And some of them were going to be very interesting.
09:48What happened today?
09:50We were just friends on, like, Instagram.
09:53I know a couple of them.
09:54Like, the girls.
09:55I didn't know them.
09:57They asked if they wanted to hang out.
09:59And it was like, what are we going to do?
10:00And it was like, I know some abandoned places.
10:02And I was like, oh, okay.
10:03Cool.
10:05Damn.
10:05We had it linked up.
10:06And we just went to family.
10:07We were just exploring.
10:08Like, hide and seek.
10:10Okay.
10:11I lived and I picked up some of my friends and went to the gas station and got my charger.
10:17Went to get something to eat.
10:18We seen the place.
10:19And then they just decided to try and find a way in there.
10:21So we all went in there.
10:23We separated at a point.
10:24We seen the lights.
10:26So I'm going out with some friends.
10:29They come to pick me up for a year at around 10.
10:34Around 10.
10:35And so they're like, do you have any other girlfriend?
10:38And I was like, yeah.
10:39So I'll come to them.
10:40So we go pick up them.
10:41And then we're just riding around.
10:43We don't know what to do.
10:44We're kind of bored.
10:44And then we stumble across this building.
10:49But it had like abandoned.
10:50And so I was, then I told her, yeah.
10:53And then she picked me up and then we came here.
10:56Okay.
10:57What was the plan when you got in?
10:59Not much.
11:00We just didn't even know what to do.
11:02We were just looking around.
11:02Just to kind of explore.
11:04Yeah.
11:04And so we were just taking photos or whatever.
11:06And then he was like, okay, well, I'm going to go back downstairs.
11:10So he went back downstairs and he got a call from my friend saying like, oh, the police
11:15are here at the 3rd.
11:16Like, but they just had the police be here.
11:19And I'm thinking like, oh, maybe it's just the guys.
11:21Like, just playing around with them.
11:23Saying like, come on, there's the police or whatever.
11:24So we're trying to get down.
11:26And it isn't until we hit like the second floor.
11:28We hear the police.
11:29And they're like, oh, it's the police or something like, I don't know.
11:33We just started working and we realized it wasn't there.
11:34So we're just trying to get to the, we just started going down all the stairs to the
11:39basement.
11:39And I was trying to find my friends with that too.
11:41Okay.
11:42So I was trying to find my friends and I was trying to find the exit.
11:44So we just grabbed them and let go.
11:46And as soon as you had kind of caught like that sparkles there, an officer was right
11:50there with center class on him.
11:51So I put your hands up, lay down.
11:53You were just exploring.
11:55Why didn't you leave when you heard the police yelling?
11:58I didn't hear the police yelling.
11:59You didn't hear them yelling?
12:00I was on the 5th floor.
12:01You were on the 5th floor?
12:02I couldn't hear them.
12:03Okay.
12:04How did you get in?
12:06The girls knew.
12:08I'd never done that before.
12:10Okay.
12:11Were they like checking doors?
12:13They had a friend who calls me like, how did they get in?
12:16And we just followed them.
12:18So the girls, sounds like they had been in there before?
12:21I'm guessing, yeah.
12:22Okay.
12:23Which door did you guys go into?
12:24It was the side door like all the way around to the back.
12:28Okay.
12:28We had to go around.
12:29What were you guys doing when you were in there?
12:31Literally just exploring.

12:53I don't know.
12:53I just heard yelling and stuff then when I came up.
12:55Okay.
12:56Where were you hiding?
12:57I wasn't hiding at all.
12:58I was sitting on the spiral stairs.
12:59How come you didn't leave when you were in the police yelling?
13:05Because I thought we were going to tackle this.
13:08Okay.
13:09Do you plan on running?
13:10No.
13:11Okay.
