The victim recovered surveillance footage showing several juvenile males approaching the front door and forcing it open before fleeing on foot, S.O. officials said today in a social media post. Five juvenile males were identified as the suspects and criminally charged.
All admitted to damaging the victim’s door at random. The juveniles explained it was like a TikTok challenge where participants randomly kick open someone’s door. The victim in this incident had no affiliation with the juveniles.
“This has been a dangerous and illegal social media trend,” Sheriff Eric Aden said in the post. “It puts everyone involved at serious risk. We’re asking parents to please discuss the dangers of this trend with their children to prevent a potential tragedy.”
