Bloomingdale police have issued a warning amid an ongoing TikTok trend after numerous people have been arrested at a building in the Chicago suburb.
The department had released numerous posts on social media this week searching for individuals “who trespassed and damaged the Indian Lakes Property.”
Images showed at least three people scaling the roof of the building.
“Anyone who unlawfully enters the property or causes damage, will be held to the fullest extent of the law,” the department wrote on Facebook.
The closed Indian Lakes Hotel has been the site of numerous trespassing arrests. The department noted that it was aware of a TikTok page dedicated to “urban exploration.” The trend highlights “thrilling urban exploration adventures through abandoned places.”
“A reminder, BPD has arrested multiple people in the past and will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, anyone unlawfully entering the property,” the department said.
On Tuesday, the Bloomingdale Police Department said it charged two people with criminal trespassing at the former hotel and country club.
“This adds to a growing number of people arrested for trespassing at the site since the Village took over the property. The building is in a state of disrepair and is unsafe. No unauthorized people should be inside the building, and the site is monitored by security 24/7,” its post read. “Security calls the police whenever someone enters the property. We will continue to charge people who trespass on this property. Please stay away.”
It’s not the first time the “urban exploring” trend has hit the property.
In 2023, the department also warned about trespassing at the location, also named Prairie Lakes, which it said was undergoing restoration.
“Unfortunately, many juveniles and young adults have been trespassing on the property and causing damage to windows, walls and doors. The increase in trespassing incidents is likely due to the social media trend, ‘Urban Exploring,'” a post from the department read. “While some ‘explorers’ have permission to enter abandoned buildings, Prairie Lakes is not abandoned and NO individuals have permission to enter any parts of the building. Please speak to your children and their friends about making smart decisions.”
