Myrtle Beach police warns parents about a new social media prank. It could turn deadly
The Myrtle Beach Police Department warned parents Monday that some kids are using replica guns filled with Orbeez gel water beads as a prank - one that could “turn into a deadly situation.”
The department “is aware of ongoing incidents in our city and surrounding jurisdictions involving juveniles and replica guns loaded with Orbeez,” the agency said in a Facebook post.
The department did not provide additional information about the reported incidents.
Police said firing Orbeez at people is a punishable offense.
