Police in Wales have warned youths over a “disgraceful” trend on TikTok which they say is leaving vulnerable people feeling unsafe in their homes.
Teens are filming themselves turning their backs to doors and kicking them before running away.
It is the latest weird trend on the social media platform TikTok and comes weeks after forces also had to warn youths over a craze where beans were smothered over people’s cars and homes.

A video released by North Wales Police shows three youths in Caernarfon kicking a door and running away.
The footage was shared by the force's Gwynedd North Policing team on Facebook on Friday.
A spokesman said that reports of this trend have been increasing across the town lately, adding that these young people are "disturbing the elderly in estates" and "causing them to feel unsafe in their own homes".
Sgt Non Edwards added: “We have had an increase of calls reporting this stupid act which is causing people to be fearful in their homes.
"I would ask all parents do you know where your children are and what they are doing – how would you feel if they did this to your parent or grandparent?
"This video appeared on a TikTok account from an act in Caernarfon where three youths kicked an elderly person’s door and then thought it was funny uploading it. Disgraceful behaviour."
