Authorities are searching for a group of juveniles responsible for multiple acts of vandalism on a Florida family's home and who most recently set off fireworks at the property, causing damage.
According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, surveillance video from the night of Friday, Sept. 22 captures the subjects throwing a firework at the rear of the residence in Parkland.
The firework then explodes, causing damage to the property. BSO said a family was inside the home but no injuries were reported.
"My children were inside," the homeowner told Parkland Talk. "We never imagined they would escalate to this level. We are desperate and pleading for the public’s assistance in bringing these culprits to justice."
