Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, famously known as Mizzy on TikTok, recently found himself in a sticky situation after a controversial prank went wrong. The incident, which involved a ride-by e-bike phone theft and subsequent evasion from law enforcement, has garnered significant attention both online and offline.
The ordeal unfolded when O’Garro allegedly snatched a woman’s phone while zipping by on a Lime e-bike. Caught red-handed, he attempted to elude the authorities by discarding the phone and hiding behind a nearby tree. Despite his efforts to deflect blame by claiming innocence and fear, the evidence pointed squarely at him, leading to a conviction for theft by the magistrates in Highbury.
This isn’t the first time O’Garro has courted controversy with his pranks. His TikTok fame, built on provocative and often confrontational content, has frequently landed him in legal trouble. From entering strangers’ houses without consent to staging fake thefts and trespassing at iconic locations like Alton Towers, O’Garro’s antics have drawn criticism and rebuke from both the public and media.

While O’Garro awaits sentencing for his recent theft conviction, his case serves as a cautionary tale about the legal ramifications of pushing boundaries in the online realm.
