18-year-old Ger Levy has been arrested in Florida after police alleged that a group of seven teenagers entered a luxury high-rise and threw construction tools from a rooftop, creating a potentially deadly danger for people below.
The incident is alleged to have happened on 13 October 2026 at Building 4000 on Williams Island, a private, gated residential development in Aventura, north of Miami. The arrest was reported by Miami television station WPLG Local 10 on 6 November.
What police allege happened
According to an Aventura Police Department arrest report described by WPLG, the group comprised five males and two females who entered the residential building through a rear door. A security officer reportedly believed she recognised one of them as a resident. Police said none of the seven lived in the building.
Investigators allege that the teenagers then entered a penthouse undergoing renovation and threw equipment towards the rear of the building from its roof. The objects described in the police account include screwdrivers, diamond-tipped circular saw blades, spatulas and a toolbox.
Prosecutors highlighted the risk of serious injury if any of the objects had struck someone on the ground. The danger is central to the case: objects dropped from a high-rise can cause devastating injuries even when the people throwing them do not intend to hit anyone.
One suspect arrested
Ger Levy, who turned 18 in September, was arrested on Thursday 5 November, according to WPLG. The station reported that jail records listed charges of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and criminal mischief involving damage of $1,000 or more. In Florida, the reported charges are a second-degree felony and a third-degree felony respectively.
WPLG said Levy was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with a bond of $8,500 as of the evening of Friday 6 November. That was his reported position at the time, not a confirmation of his current custody status.
Two younger suspects were named as co-defendants in the police paperwork, while officers said other suspected participants remained under investigation. Fish 4 News is not naming the minors. Allegations and charges do not establish guilt, and there has been no reported conviction in this case.
Questions about entry to the building
Williams Island is a gated residential community, so the account also raises questions about how the group gained access to the development and then to the building. The description of the security officer’s mistake comes from the arrest paperwork reported by WPLG; no independent finding about a wider security failure has been established.
WPLG said police held surveillance footage but declined to release it while their investigation continued. The station also reported speaking to the person responsible for the penthouse renovation, who said she wanted the case pursued.
What remains unknown
As of 9 November, Fish 4 News has not independently verified any further arrests, a court hearing date or the suspect’s updated custody status. The available reporting does not establish that anyone was injured. The full arrest report, surveillance footage and subsequent court proceedings have not been independently examined by this publication.
Police allegations remain subject to investigation and any court process. This report will be updated if further verified information becomes available.
