LOWER SOUTHAMPTON, PA — Police in Lower Southampton are looking for a group, possibly teens, that took a joy ride on the grass of a local elementary school.

The incident happened over winter break at Tawanka Elementary School, on Brownsville Road in Feasterville-Trevose. Surveillance video showed one of the group lift a security gate, then showed a car — a Ford Fusion — drive onto the grass in back of the school.

The footage shows a female walking from the Oakford section and getting into the car, which returned later and dropped her off along with a male passenger.
