St. Pius X football field vandalized; golf cart causes massive damage to gridiron, Chamblee police say

A golf cart was used to cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the newly installed turf and netting at St. Pius X's football field, Chamblee police announced Thursday.

The vandalism, discovered the morning after the incident, has prompted a criminal investigation as authorities review surveillance footage to identify those responsible. 

Chamblee PD Criminal Investigative Unit is currently reviewing the video evidence.

On July 16, 2026, Chamblee police responded to the football field at St. Pius X school for a reported damage to property call.

Chamblee police met representatives, who stated they discovered that the night before at approximately 9:30 PM, a golf cart parked near the main building was used to vandalize the football field.

This investigation remains ongoing.
