DANVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — Danville police said Saturday a number of juvenile suspects have been named following a series of vandalism incidents connected to a dangerous TikTok trend.
The “ door kick challenge ” can be described as violent “ding-dong-ditch.” Authorities with the Danville Metropolitan Police Department say the challenge may be linked to a TikTok trend where suspects record themselves forcefully kicking doors then fleeing the scene. The videos are then posted on social media.
The department issued a statement Thursday warning community members of the “dangerous” and “life-threatening” prank after multiple homes on Mill Street had their doors kicked in recent months.
In each instance, doors were forcefully kicked and sustained damage. Police say no one entered or stole anything from the homes.
On Saturday, police posted on social media that an unknown number of juveniles were named suspects after their parents reported them to officers.
