Overview
- Police report eight door‑kicking incidents in the past 30 days and confirm five arrests, including two 13-year-olds.
- One damaged doorframe cost about $900 to repair, and costs above $950 in California can trigger felony charges with parents liable for restitution.
- School resource officers are assisting investigators by identifying youths seen in videos of the incidents.
- Victims describe fear and show videos of suspects arriving on e-bikes, which police say makes quick getaways easier.
- Officials cite similar cases in other cities and note a Houston door‑prank incident that turned fatal to underscore the risks.
