Shopkeepers are braced for a week of social media-fueled looting and mayhem across parts of London and Kent next month.
A threat of chaos at nine specified locations has been viewed thousands of times by people on TikTok and has been flagged to The Metropolitan Police.
It has been posted by an account with a photograph of Tiktok idiot Mizzy and the account name ‘Mizzywayoutsideinthedist’.
It is not known if Mizzy is behind the post but in recent days he has continued to post disturbing videos on Tiktok.
They include knocking on a woman’s door and asking if he can take a shower and at a family home and asking if he can have a sleepover.

The last round of chaos at Oxford Street was traced back to a 15-year-old schoolboy who attends a well-respected school in Essex
It comes just weeks after massive police resources were thrown at Bexleyheath in south east London after online rumours spread of carnage similar to that seen in Oxford Street being carried out there.
The last round of chaos at Oxford Street was traced back to a 15-year-old schoolboy who attends a well-respected school in Essex.
The latest alert, flagged to The Metropolitan Police by Mail Online, says: ‘This is just a little message to all the Southeast London mandem shopping centres. We are going to be rioting these shopping centres.. start date is on the 4th September til 8th of September.’
Those highlighted are in south east London and Kent but Mail Online is not naming precise locations.
The post – viewed by 1124 people – has since been removed.
It has been flagged to The Metropolitan Police and has left shopkeepers fearful.
One shop owner in an area highlighted in the post said: ‘We’re very worried. It’s mad. We just want to get on with our lives without these threats.
‘It’s terrible for business. It’s scary.’
Another said: ‘It’s a nightmare. It has to be taken seriously because of the scenes on Oxford Street and how easily this sort of thing can get out of control.
‘We have enough problems without these morons on Tiktok spreading fear.’
Flash-mob looting in London’s Oxford Street, which was prompted by videos and screenshots trending on social media encouraging youngsters to rob J D Sports and other stores
Earlier this month Bexleyheath was placed on lockdown with store owners warned to lock their doors if mass brawls broke out.
The area was placed under a 48 hour dispersal order following ‘social media speculation’ the force said as it vowed to ramp up police presence to deal with the antics planned for the weekend.
Fears have been sparked this week that the US-style flashmob looting, organised on social media apps like TikTok and Snapchat, could become more widespread in Britain.
Huge groups of youths have gathered on Oxford Street in recent weeks after posts circulated online which urged users to rob JD sports under the tag ‘Oxford Circus JD Robbery’.
Dramatic footage showed chaos erupt on Europe’s busiest shopping street, with youngsters clashing with baton-wielding cops, with some being pinned to the floor or walls.
Mail Online revealed last week how it was promoted by an award-winning schoolboy from a respectable home.
The 15-year-old – who cannot be named for legal reasons – goes to a well-regarded school in Essex where he has received awards for prowess in sport.
His mother posted on his last birthday how proud she is of him, writing: ‘When you were little, I was your hero, but now you have become mine. I can’t believe how much you have grown in the past few years. You have become an intelligent, strong and courageous young man that I look at with pride.’
He has been pictured in a blazer looking like a smart and respectable schoolboy who takes part in martial arts competitions.
But he has been living a secret second life on Tiktok, where he had more than 10,000 followers before the account was pulled.
He was seen in the area interviewing teens on camera.
Wearing colourful shorts, a vest, rucksack and trainers he held a microphone while interviewing other teens on camera, some who appeared to be as young as 13, and hyped up what was expected to happen at the meeting that had been organised on the controversial social media platform.
The antics of Tiktok star Mizzy – Bacari-Bronze O’Garro – have been seen as potentially inspiring some of the chaos as well.
The 18-year-old appeared in court yesterday charged with three breaches of a criminal behaviour order (CBO) relating to the posting of prank videos on social media.
But his case was adjourned because he has been accused of engaging in further ‘criminal activities’.
The Metropolitan Police said it was not in a position to comment on individual posts that appear on social media but said any information that comes to its attention will be assessed and acted on accordingly.
