Authorities are trying to crack down and figure out why the popular family attraction has become a criminal haven.that Naperville police have designated the Topgolf parking lot as a "high-crime area," according to police records. "I'm not sure what the attraction is," State's Attorney Bob Berlin told the I-Team. "Clearly, that facility is an attraction for felons with guns. We're not sure why they're going there. These guns or these drugs are in plain view, where the police can see them, and they're capturing all of this on their body camera video. I just think it's a lack of respect for the law. And unfortunately, we've seen more and more of that recently.
No one has been shot or injured at Topgolf, and Berlin said it "remains a safe place that people should feel safe going to."
