Surveillance footage released by police showed a white pickup truck that police said the thieves used to get away with the generators.

Lopez said the generators were among the equipment being stored at the course for the upcoming LIV Golf 2023 Team Championship, set for Oct. 20-22.

There were three or four suspects involved in the theft but detectives are looking into the possibility that others were involved, possibly even employees, Lopez said.

"We are looking at this investigation from multiple angles, right now anybody could be a suspect," Lopez said Thursday. "We take these types of crimes very seriously."

Lopez said detectives are interviewing employees and working multiple leads.
