Scientology church buildings forced to upgrade security as TikTok trend reaches Australia
Published By admin
The Church of Scientology has been forced to upgrade its security across buildings in Australia following a bizarre string of attempted trespass events led mostly by groups of teenagers.
The “Scientology Speedrun” TikTok trend began in the US late last month with a series of videos featuring groups of teenage boys deliberately rushing security at Scientology churches.
On Saturday, both the Sydney and Brisbane Scientology buildings became surrounded by young people, mostly teenagers, demanding access to the building.
According to NSW police, officers responded to a large gathering of “about 100 young people” out the front of the Sydney Church of Scientology on Castlereagh St about 1.30pm.
“Officers attached to Sydney City Police Area Command attended along with the public order riot squad and assisted in dispersing the group,” a police spokesman said.
