🚨 PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT: Dangerous TikTok Trend Hits Local Communities 🚨
📣 A troubling new TikTok challenge is making its way through Southern Clarion County and Northern Armstrong County — and it’s putting our neighborhoods at risk. Known as the “Door-Kicking Challenge,” this trend involves individuals forcefully kicking front doors and running away while recording the act for social media. 😡📱🚪
🚓 Southern Clarion County Regional Police have confirmed several instances in our area. What may seem like a prank is actually criminal behavior. It’s considered vandalism, trespassing, and can be mistaken as an attempted break-in — prompting potentially dangerous defensive responses from homeowners. ⚠️💥
👮♂️ Suspects will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
👨👩👧👦 Parents and Guardians: Please talk to your children about the serious risks and consequences of participating in social media challenges like this. One reckless act can lead to life-changing consequences.
🏠 Residents are strongly encouraged to invest in security cameras, video doorbells, motion lights, and other home safety equipment to help deter and document suspicious activity. Your safety matters.
📞 If you witness or are affected by this behavior, report all suspicious or criminal activity immediately by calling 814.275.1180. For after-hours emergencies, dial 911.
✅ Let’s work together to keep our communities safe and strong.
