Deputies on the hunt for trio behind Deltona ‘door-kicking challenge’

Incidents happened around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, deputies said

DELTONA, Fla. – Volusia County deputies announced they are searching for a trio of juveniles who were caught kicking the doors of homes in a Deltona neighborhood on Wednesday night.

In a release, deputies said the three minors were spotted on camera kicking the front doors of four homes as part of a “door-kicking challenge.”

The incidents happened around 9 p.m. on the 900 block of Feather Drive; 2200 block of Venus Avenue; and 900 block of Elkcam Boulevard, the release shows.

Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives at dgalarza@volusiasheriff.gov.

It’s not the only door-kicking incident that the sheriff’s office has reported on, though.

Deputies also noted an incident over the weekend where a 12-year-old was caught participating in the challenge, and he was eventually arrested on Tuesday.

“(The child) told detectives he did it because he was bored,” the sheriff’s office revealed. “Despite multiple warnings, we continue to see this dangerous trend in our community... Parents, PLEASE talk to your kids about how dangerous this is. This may seem like harmless fun, but it has real consequences. Aside from a felony charge, it could get your child killed.”
