The toy guns have become popular in San Mateo County and beyond since the so-called #gelblaster challenge began trending on TikTok.

In a press release, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office reminded residents that assault by Gel Blaster on a person or animal is a criminal offense.

The sheriff is currently looking for five juvenile suspects, who have allegedly been firing the toy guns from a moving vehicle in San Carlos near the downtown area during the evening, according to witness statements.
