Newly released body camera footage shows hundreds of people--many of them minors--partying at a vacant Goodyear home in February.
The footage, obtained and released by Fox10 Phoenix this week, shows hundreds of teens and young adults streaming out of the Sarival Gardens home after police broke up the illegal party on Feb. 19, 2022.
But it wasn't the homeowner who invited them to the property, valued around the million-dollar range. The home was supposedly scouted and taken over by party organizers while the homeowner was out of town.
The home was on the market at the time of the massive 'pop-up' party.
There wasn't much police could do to corral all the party-goers given the high number of attendees police described in the footage as drunk and high--some leaving the scene with leftover bottles of alcohol.
"There's six of us and 150 of them," one of the officers replies to a concerned neighbor, asking why police are not making arrests.
