Frightening culprits have been spotted loitering at the end of driveways in Ash, Kent, and staring at homeowners, they claim.
It is the second time in less than a week that reports have been made after one youth was caught outside a Co-op in the area.
The "clown" has been wandering around in a "red wig and has huge, sharp teeth” and banging on people's doors.
Claire Gilmore, 41, said her children were scared by the pranksters when she saw them outside the local shop.

"The teeth were quite scary and looked sharp. My little boy said it looked like a clown from The Curse of Bridge Hollow [on Netflix].
“It would be quite scary for an elderly person too.”
