A viral video providing a step-by-step tutorial on how to sneak into a popular California theme park has caught the attention of authorities.

On May 20, two teenagers filmed themselves climbing a wall at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Vista and walking around the park. The clip was uploaded to video-sharing platform TikTok and has since racked up over a million views.

In a statement, a representative said the theme park was aware of the incident and was actively working with police to bring the trespassers to justice.

“Safety is always our top priority,” the statement read in part.

“This behavior will not be tolerated, and anyone caught trespassing on Knott’s property will be subject to arrest and may be permanently barred from the park.”

“We have contacted the Buena Park Police Department and provided images of these two individuals along with our security teams and will continue to review measures to protect the park and work with local authorities on these situations.”

Knott's Berry Farm is the oldest theme park in the United States, spanning 57 acres and attracting more than 5 million visitors each year.

The intruders were able to avoid paying the daily entrance fee, which starts at around $60.

To add insult to injury, this wasn't their first stunt – and they shared their antics online with more than 19,000 followers on social media.

A look at their TikTok account shows a history of alleged intrusion dating back to at least the summer of 2023.

In February, they attracted the attention of law enforcement by sneaking into the Intuit Dome, the Clippers' new arena in Inglewood, which is still under construction.

The resulting video showed them climbing ladders, shooting hoops and spraying a fire extinguisher onto the field.

The incident was just the teens' latest stunt, as the two filmed themselves breaking into arenas and music festivals.

At the time, Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts said authorities believed they knew the identities of the teens and planned to contact their parents.

Trespassing is generally prosecuted as a misdemeanor in California, and a conviction carries a sentence of up to six months in prison.

But that didn't deter the teens. Since February, they have snuck across rooftops and jumped fences to gain access to Rolling Loud, a music festival whose tickets start at around $300.

Before attracting the attention of authorities, they also filmed themselves breaking into Dodger and SoFi stadiums as well as another music festival called Hard Summer.

It's unclear if they have been charged for their past stunts or if any charges have been brought against them in connection with the latest incident.

Sergeant Jon Shaddow of the Buena Park Police Department told DailyMail.com the department will issue a statement at a later date.
