The grandmother of two of the so-called 'little rascals' bank robbery suspects said the teller gave the trio 'play money' when they allegedly robbed a north Harris County, Texas bank last week.
Suspects are 11, 12 and 16, officials saidThe woman, who did not want to give her name, identified herself as the grandmother of the boys, ages 11 and 16, who allegedly robbed a Wells Fargo bank in north Harris County last week. Only ABC13 spoke to the woman on how her grandsons were caught.
The woman, who did not want to give her name, identified herself as the grandmother of two of the boys, ages 11 and 16. A third boy, who is 12 years old, was also involved, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.The woman said she was the relative who called when she saw the children's photos online.
It was March 14, during the boys' spring break, when, in an effort to identify them, the FBI posted photos of the trio, calling them "little rascals."Once the juveniles were identified, KTRK blurred their faces. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, at around 3 p.m. that day, they passed a threatening note to a teller at a Wells Fargo, which is 5 miles from where they live. Then they got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. The grandmother scoffed at that allegation.The sheriff's office said the third boy was caught when he was handled by law enforcement following a weapons call and was recognized. All three were charged with robbery by threat.
