A Las Vegas homeowner was left in shock after her relaxing vacation was disrupted by a horrifying phone call from the police.
The call informed her that a wild party of over 200 teens had taken over her mansion.
A Night of Chaos
The chaotic scene unfolded on Saturday night at Jamie Lewis’ home when a group of hundreds of teenagers broke into her house.
Authorities reported that the teens caused mayhem, dancing on countertops, damaging the home’s decor, and creating a mess.
The unsettling footage of the party, showing the wave of teens fleeing as police arrived, quickly spread across social media.
The Call That Changed Everything
Jamie Lewis had no idea what was happening until she received a call from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police around 10:30 pm.
They asked her if she was hosting a large party at her house.
“I really thought it was a fake call,” she told Fox5Vegas.
It wasn’t until her neighbors reached out with videos showing the teenagers swarming her property that she realized the nightmare was real.
The overwhelming videos from her neighbors led Jamie to cut her vacation short and rush home, devastated by what she would find.
A New Trend: Mansion Parties
Police believe the break-in was part of a disturbing new trend called “mansion partying.”
In this trend, teens break into vacant homes while the owners are away, stage massive parties, and often charge people for entry, profiting off the chaos.
Investigators suspect the teens entered through a garage door, and they’re working to figure out how they knew the house would be empty.
A Nightmare Turned Into a Financial Burden
Jamie Lewis is left not only shaken but also facing costly repairs.
Damage to her home includes a broken front door, destroyed smoke detectors, and severely damaged countertops.
“The feeling of being vandalized and violated is something you just don’t want to experience,” she said.
Now, she is working with the police to track down the individuals responsible and ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
A Neighbor’s Shocking Experience
The chaos wasn’t just witnessed by Jamie.
Her elderly neighbor, Joe Neal, was also caught off guard by the loud noise coming from next door.
At 77 years old, Neal was startled to see such a wild scene unfolding across the fence.
“I look in my backyard and it looks like there’s a hell of a party going on, and you weren’t invited,” Neal joked.
Neal’s experience took an even stranger turn when one of the teens fled through his yard and used a bolt cutter to cut through the lock on his fence.
“Who comes to a party and brings bolt cutters?” he questioned.
“That’s not someone wanting to party; that’s someone wanting to steal.”
An Alarming Trend in the Neighborhood
This incident at Jamie Lewis’ home is not an isolated one.
Authorities believe these break-ins are part of an organized effort by local teenagers to turn vacant homes into party venues.
Teens often travel from house to house, sometimes visiting multiple properties in a single night, charging for entry, and even hiring DJs to elevate the events.
Jamie’s experience has now brought attention to this growing issue in the northwest Las Vegas area.
She warns others to be vigilant about strange cars or an unusually high number of kids in the neighborhood, urging them to contact the police if something seems off.
What’s Next?
With this alarming trend spreading across the area, it’s clear that Jamie’s experience may be just the tip of the iceberg.
As authorities investigate further, residents are being urged to stay alert and protect their properties from the increasingly popular and dangerous phenomenon of mansion parties.
