A whole boatload of teens broke into an $8,000,000 Walton County home and threw one hell of a party. The sheriff is trying to identify all of the folks involved.
According to Walton County Sheriff’s Office, early Saturday morning, deputies were called out to Blackwater Street in Watercolor by Security for a noise complaint.
When deputies arrived, as you can imagine, most of the people at the party had left the scene.
“Since then, videos are circulating on Snapchat, Instagram, and other social media platforms with some of the highlights. Including where some of the people attending turn the foyer of the $8 million home into a boxing ring,” said WCSO.
“Here’s another sliver of information; Snapchat isn’t private. You may think it is if you are a teenager or someone in their early 20s and you are not yet worldly. Your friends will snitch. Word gets out. You’ll be tagged in pics on the Gram,” said WCSO.
The sheriff’s office added that apart from the damage caused and the items stolen, it’s a complete violation of someone’s home that you can’t put a price on.
“Before anyone says, this is just “kids being kids”, we want you to ask yourself how you would feel if your home was ransacked and your sense of peace and security was taken from you. Before you say, “they might not have known”, ask yourself if what was taking place was appropriate (or legal) regardless if they had permission to be there (which they did not). Before making an excuse for these kids, ask why they felt they could do this in the first place,” added WCSO.
“The feeling when you know someone went into your closet, tried on your clothes, and used your bathroom doesn’t have a dollar amount attached to it. Especially in a place where you’re supposed to feel safe,” said WCSO.
If you have information regarding this incident, please contact the Walton County Sheriff’s Office at (850)-892-8111 or you can remain anonymous by calling Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at (850)863-TIPS.
