US Police Urge Teenagers to Stop “Stranger in the House” Prank

Police departments across the United States are urging teenagers to stop a viral prank known as “a stranger came into the house.” Using AI, pranksters create images of a disheveled man allegedly entering their home and send them to their parents, claiming they let him in.

According to police, the prank often causes panic, leading worried parents to call 911 and trigger unnecessary emergency responses.

The trend has gone viral worldwide — even reaching Uzbekistan.
