TikTok mobs are running wild in Clapham once again with terrified families barricaded inside high street stores in the latest wave of Easter holiday chaos.

Clips circulating on social media see crowds of feral children tearing through the neighbourhood in south London, terrorising locals and forcing shops to close.

Police vehicles could be seen desperately trying to move through the throng of rioters who took to the streets in broad daylight on Tuesday afternoon, responding to a TikTok trend which has been encouraging teens to ‘linkup’ en masse. 

Witnesses claim the Marks and Spencer on the high street – which was looted by a flash mob over the weekend leading to two arrests – has shut early amid fears of a further raid on its aisles, while a local Waitrose has also apparently closed its doors.

Further videos showed large groups of young people dressed in black gathering outside a McDonald’s restaurant in the area as marked and unmarked police cars raced to the scene.

And families reportedly remain ‘barricaded’ inside a local Sainsbury’s as youths continue to claim control of the busy high street. 

Chaos reigned along the heaving road with cars coming to a standstill and commuters ducking for cover, or opting to film the scene using their smartphones. 

Fires could be spotted burning on the fields of Clapham Common as police swooped in to put them out, sending smoke billowing into the air.

Dozens of officers broke into the huge crowd of teens in a bid to disperse the mob, but most of the participants appeared to hold their ground. 

The Daily Mail has approached the Metropolitan Police for comment.

It comes after a mass ‘linkup’ that saw a wild mob of youths run riot in a M&S store and terrorise the streets of Clapham on Saturday was arranged in advance online on yet another day in Lawless London.

Police were forced to issue a dispersal order and two 16-year-old girls and one 15-year-old girl were arrested for shoplifting and assault during the crazed gathering of over 100 teenagers. 

Footage posted on social media showed police officers watching on as an army of feral youngsters stormed through the supermarket.

Gormless officers made pitiful attempts to control the frenzied crowd as they shoved each other while running down the frozen food aisle before a brawl broke out that left one girl in tears.

Other videos show them running through the high street squealing and shouting as confused onlookers trying to go about their daily business stand frozen in fear.

They also ambushed other shops in the area, including Sainsbury’s where a young girl was filmed hitting a police officer and another seen running out of the shop and away from officers. 

Videos and comments on TikTok from teenagers who attended suggest the meet-up was arranged on social media with many calling it ‘the Clapham courts linkup’ and others simply referring to it as ‘Clapham courts’ or ‘courts’.

‘I was gonna go but none of my friends wanted to go,’ said one comment.

The chaotic scenes took place on the first day of the Easter holidays as it raised concerns that this might happen again while Britain’s youth are not busy with school. 

Another video shows two girls smiling and dancing at home, seems to be referencing a second ‘linkup’ with a caption reading: ‘How we feel knowing it’s gonna be live at Clapham Courts on Tuesday.’

Footage shows the large gathering initially meeting up at Clapham Common netball and basketball courts before spilling out on to the streets as the atmosphere became increasingly chaotic.

Footage of the incident has since gone viral on social media, with viewers branding the ordeal yet another example of lawless London.

A Met Police spokesperson said of Saturday’s mob incident: ‘Tackling shoplifting and anti-social behaviour continues to be a priority for the Met, and we’re doing more to take action against offenders and support local businesses.

‘This proactive approach saw a 44 per cent increase in arrests last year, while shoplifting across London fell by four per cent.

‘At around 16:45hrs on Saturday, 28 March, police responded to reports of a group of around 100 young people causing anti-social behaviour and stealing from a number of businesses on Clapham High Street.

‘Officers imposed a dispersal order and made three arrests. Three girls, two aged 16 and one 15-year-old girl, were arrested for shoplifting and assault. They have since been bailed.’
