Children have been making a nuisance of themselves

Children have been driving people on a quiet residential street in Coventry mad with antisocial behaviour they believe is being fuelled by the emergence of a new 'TikTok craze.'

Five boys were allegedly running around Longford and 'kicking the front doors' of houses in Hurst Road on Sunday night, May 22. Elderly residents including one woman with terminal cancer are said to have been really 'frightened' by their antics.

Concerned locals are calling on the police to put a stop to the behaviour. One nearby resident told CoventryLive: "Yesterday a bunch of five boys found it funny to go up to houses and kick the front doors. Apparently, it is a TikTok craze."

She said the youths 'kicked on one door before moving on to the next' adding that the youngsters were deterred by a Ring doorbell and a barking dog. However, they continued to make a nuisance of themselves to residents across the street, including a woman who has terminal cancer.

She continued: "Some of the houses have old people in that would be frightened. One of the doors they kicked has an elderly lady inside who is seriously ill. She must have been so frightened. It needs to be stopped."

West Midlands Police have been approached for comment.

Don't hold your breath, they're too busy looking for 'bad' words used on facebook. :fuming:
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
