(Woodland, CA) — Four teenage boys and a girl have been arrested on suspicion of trying to steal a car in Woodland. Police say the kids, all about 14-years-old, tried to use a method popularized by a TikTok trend.

On Tuesday morning, they allegedly smashed a window, ripped off the ignition panel and tried to start the car with a USB charging cable. Then, they ran away after activating the lights in the car’s theft protection system. A neighbor called 911 and the teens were arrested a block away.

The five teens are now facing felony charges.
