‘Young hoodlums:’ Gang of boys caught playing ‘real-life Frogger’ at Central Florida park

Flagler County sheriff details several acts of mischief at local park

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office took to social media on Wednesday after a gang of young boys was caught engaging in mischief at a local park last week.

In a release, deputies said that the group of around 30 middle-school-aged boys — dubbed “PG-13″ — was spotted on Friday at Holland Park Pavilion.

At the time, they were seen playing “real-life Frogger” with moving cars, climbing a water fountain to access the roof, and tearing up the park lawn while riding e-bikes, deputies added.

“Not to be outdone, the group also managed to break a changing table, proving once again that if you leave teenage boys unsupervised, they will absolutely find something to destroy,” the release reads.

As such, the sheriff’s office encouraged parents to ensure they know what their children are up to when they leave the house.

“Holland Park is for picnics and play — not junior varsity parkour, demolition practice, or audition tapes for ‘Impractical Jokers: The Next Generation,’" the release concludes. “If you recognize your aspiring stuntmen, we encourage you to have a chat... before we do.”

FCSO Cmdr. Bernie Woodward told News 6 that the sheriff’s office sees more activity like this in the park when school is out.

And with summer break coming up, it’s expected to get even busier.

“We encourage everyone to go to the park and have a good time, but the minute it becomes reckless behavior or criminal in nature with the fights or the vandalism, we’re going to get involved and try to identify everybody involved and hold them accountable,” Woodward explained.

No additional information about the incident or those involved has been provided at this time.
