MACON, Ga. – Authorities in central Georgia say up to 50 teenagers bent on destruction raced into a Wal-Mart in Macon, smashing merchandise and causing an estimated $2,000 in damage.
Bibb County sheriff's officials say some of the young people snatched a man from a motorized shopping cart and dragged him to the floor during the rampage around 2 a.m. Sunday.
Sheriff's officials said one of the teens later told a Wal-Mart employee the goal was to see how much damage they could cause.
Sheriff's officials say floors were coated with broken merchandise.
The Telegraph (http://bit.ly/1LFzW6M ) reports that the teens ran when deputies arrived, but a 17-year-old boy was arrested when he returned to the store to retrieve his cellphone.
Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said investigators are using surveillance video to try and identify suspects.
