Swing-N-Pickle, a new sports entertainment venue in Albuquerque offering pickleball, golf simulators, batting cages, and dining, was burglarized just weeks before its grand opening. Thieves stole golf simulators, tools, and caused extensive damage to the recently resurfaced pickleball courts, resulting in an estimated $70,000 in losses. The break-in has delayed the opening by several months, and security cameras were scheduled to be installed only after the incident.
The owners are appealing to the community for help in recovering stolen items and supporting their recovery efforts. They urge anyone who spots the stolen golf simulators or wants to donate tools or funds to contact them or the Albuquerque Police Department. Despite the setback, the owners remain determined to rebuild and open their facility.
