Hide AdA spokesman for Nelson, Brierfield and Barrowford Police said: "It has come to our attention that there is a new trend going around on TikTok involving youths kicking doors to the sound of a tune.
"I think a lot of people can say that at some point in their childhood they played 'knock a door run', however, this is on a whole different level where youths are booting doors with so much force that it's causing significant damage whilst videoing themselves doing it.
"Earlier tonight we attended a 90-year-old vulnerable lady's house, living by herself in Barrowford. She has had her door booted so hard it's caused a big crack, this has absolutely frightened her.
"Please keep a check on your children, check what sort of content they are uploading onto platforms such as TikTok and snapchat etc."
