Those two suspects also face charges of evading arrest on foot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">The arrests come just months after another group was arrested at the same property during a similar incident that authorities also linked to a social media trend. In that case, officials said one juvenile who ran from deputies was found carrying a loaded handgun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Constable Mark Herman is warning residents, particularly young people, against participating in online challenges that encourage trespassing or other illegal activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">\u201cA TikTok trend isn\u2019t worth a criminal record &#8230; especially when ICEMAN is watching,\u201d Herman said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">The constable\u2019s office said anyone caught trespassing or committing crimes in Precinct 4 can expect to be arrested.
