The RCMP has launched an investigation into a social-media inspired “frenzy” of door-knock pranks that has escalated into property damage in two Vancouver-area communities.
Multiple homes in Newton and South Surrey have sustained damage after a “decades-old prank” known as ‘nicky nicky nine doors’ or ‘ding dong ditch,’ “devolved into cases of harassment and mischief,” Surrey RCMP said in a July 17 press release.
