Three armed teenagers were reportedly arrested recently while climbing a wall at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The teens were fleeing police and carrying a semiautomatic gun when arrested Friday. However, authorities think the teens likely didn't know exactly where they were, according to CBS News.

The teens allegedly ditched the backpack containing a mini AK-47 with a loaded 14-round magazine upon entering the resort grounds.

Neither the president nor any family members were at the Palm Beach resort, which is closed for the summer.

An officer spotted the teens sitting in a parked car early Friday morning near Mar-a-Lago, according to a police report obtained by CBS.

A chase ensued, and the teens were arrested with the assistance of a helicopter and police dog. The teens reportedly did not attempt to enter any of the buildings on the compound.
