According to police, the abandoned building has become the target of repeated break-ins, vandalism, and unauthorized entry attempts. Despite property management efforts to reinforce and secure access points, individuals ā primarily juveniles ā continue to find ways inside.
Authorities warn that the building is extremely dangerous due to extensive damage throughout the property, creating serious safety hazards for anyone who enters.
Police say videos posted on social media platforms, including TikTok, showing people inside the abandoned theatre have brought additional attention to the location and encouraged others to trespass.

Anyone caught trespassing or damaging the building may face legal consequences.
