FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — Fernandina Beach police are investigating an unusual crime.

Detectives are looking for a teenager who kicked the front door of a home in a neighborhood.

The video received nearly 40,000 views on the first day it was posted.

It’s being investigated as vandalism, and a First Coast News crime and safety analyst says it’s a relief that’s all at this point.

“The ding-dong ditch or knocking on doors and running away, people have been doing that even when I was a kid,” said Analyst Mark Baughman.

Baughman says the doorbell video out of Fernandina Beach takes ding-dong ditching to a whole new level.

First Coast News opted to blur the suspect’s face considering police believe them to be underage.

“A veteran cop or any cop who’s been trained and sees it on patrol doing the omnipresent thing, they’re going to view that as maybe an attempted burglary, someone trying to break into a house or a home invasion, possibly,” said Baughman.

Baughman points out those things are felonies, and police would treat them as such.

“Probably call for a backup, maybe weapons drawn, just depends,” said Baughman. “Something that was viewed as a prank by the person that was doing it is not viewed as a prank by law enforcement.”

Baughman says the bigger concern is how the person on the other side of the door may react.

“People protecting their home, and they have a gun possibly, a baseball bat, weapon or whatever,” said Baughman. “They think someone is breaking into the house. Now, you’re coming out with another incident where someone could get really hurt on either end.”

Coincidentally, this video emerged about a week after a teenager was shot by a homeowner in Nassau County while playing “Senior Assassin,” a game where high schoolers target each other with water guns.

“Police are having to deal with it when they should be dealing with real crimes, not pranks,” said Baughman. “Parents ought to be telling their adolescent children not to do this type of activity.”

A further zoomed-out clip the police department shared shows the teen appears to be with a group, so they’re looking for any info about any of the people involved.
