Two images showing incidents of "beaning" have been released by police after a TikTok trend went viral.
The trend, which sees youths smear baked beans on people's driveways, doors, and cars, prompted police to issue a warning to shops about the danger of selling baked beans to children. It is also potentially harmful to dogs.
An alert was issued by West Yorkshire Police about the trend and pictures of incidents in the area were also shared by Surrey Police in a bid to raise awareness, Wales Online reports.
