SHOPPERS are bracing for a month of looting chaos across London and Kent – with yobs reportedly using TikTok to get organised.<\/p>\n
Cops have been alerted after troublemakers on the social media platform threatened to unleash mayhem at nine different spots.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The post reads: "This is just a little message to all the Southeast London mandem shopping centres. <\/p>\n
"We are going to be rioting these shopping centres.. start date is on the 4th September til 8th of September."<\/p>\n
The post reportedly names a number of locations in south east London and Kent.<\/p>\n
One local shopkeeper told the Mail: "We're very worried. It's mad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"We just want to get on with our lives without these threats. It's terrible for business."<\/p>\n
Another said: "It's a nightmare. It has to be taken seriously because of the scenes on Oxford Street and how easily this sort of thing can get out of control.<\/p>\n
"We have enough problems without these morons on TikTok spreading fear."<\/p>\n
It comes after cops\u00a0arrested nine people and slapped 34 others with dispersal orders\u00a0after brawls broke out on London's Oxford Street last month.<\/p>\n
