Staffordshire Police say, thinking of getting involved in the new ‘door-kicking challenge’ on social media? Well, think again, because it might land you in police custody.
The trend, known as the ‘door-kicking challenge’, is often done late at night and is filmed for social media, where people kick the doors of houses and then run away.
We received two reports of this trend taking place in Stoke-on-Trent on Monday (23 February).
Officers were called to Havergal Walk and Plant Street in Longton after a group of young people wearing dark clothing and face coverings kicked two front doors.
Inspector Rebecca Price, of the Stoke-on-Trent south local policing team, said: “Even if no damage is caused, this is anti-social behaviour, which is illegal and will not be tolerated.
“For those inside the home, a loud bang on the front door late at night could be perceived as an attempted break-in, and such misunderstandings can escalate quickly.
“I would urge parents and guardians to speak to their children about the risks and consequences of taking part in trends like this.
“What may seem like a prank can cause real harm and fear, especially for vulnerable adults and families.
“Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and we are working to identify those responsible.”
Anyone experiencing anti-social behaviour should report it to us by calling 101 or by using Live Chat on our website.
To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A new rule now means UK petrol stations must share fuel price changes quickly, making it easier for drivers to find cheaper petrol.
UK petrol stations now have a legal duty to report fuel price changes to a central database within 30 minutes.
The rule came into force on 2nd February 2026 and applies to:
- Independent petrol stations
- Supermarket forecourts
- Large fuel chains
This change is designed to make fuel costs easier to manage. Industry estimates suggest drivers could save between 1p and 6p per litre by choosing cheaper fuel more often, based on improved price visibility.
Police forces will be forced to respond to emergency calls faster in England and Wales under new reforms. Too often, by the time police officers arrive to the scene of a crime, perpetrators and witnesses are long gone.
Under the new reforms, response officers will be expected to reach the scene of the most serious incidents within 15 minutes in cities and 20 minutes in rural areas. Forces will be expected to answer 999 phone calls within 10 seconds.
These new targets will ensure that all forces provide the same level of police response to crimes.
Currently, data on response times is collected differently across forces, and police are not held accountable if targets are not met. Reforming the system will create more transparency and consistency across the country.
Where forces fail to deliver, the Home Secretary will send in experts from the best performing forces to improve their performance, including when unmet response‑time targets are part of broader systemic failing.
A teenager has been arrested following a robbery in Stoke-on-Trent.
At around 3.30pm on Sunday (8 February), a boy was approached by two suspects on a canal towpath near Millvale Street, Middleport.
They told the victim to give them his bike.
When he refused, he was threatened with a knife and his bike was taken.
A 16-year-old boy, from the Stoke-on-Trent area, has been arrested on suspicion of robbery.
He has been released on conditional bail while our enquiries continue.

Do you want to be part of a team to stop motorists speeding in Sandyford & Goldenhill, especially on Reginald Mitchell Way and the High Street.
The campaign which is organised by Staffordshire Police helps to control speeding drivers who are notified of their actions as well as continual offenders receive visits from the police.
There is a possibility of up to 400 new houses being built in Sandyford, an additional 1,000 in Packmoor as well as more to be built in Harriseahead, which means there could be up to an additional 2,500 vehicles passing through Sandyford. What does this have to do with Community Speedwatch, well when vehicles pass through the speedwatch team they are recorded with the police and on recent speed checks they can record well over 1,000 vehicles passing through in a one hour window. The reason for having these records at hand means they can be used to address future planning applications to either oppose developments or make the area have a better highways infrastructure.
Please Note! If you are interested in helping the Speedwatch Team, then you can turn up to Sandyford Fire Station on Saturday 21st February at 2.00 p.m.
We look forward to seeing you there.
