(CNN) — The FBI said the alleged bank robbers they referred to as the “little rascals” are now in custody, and one of them is just 11 years old.
“They are 11, 12 and 16-year-old boys charged locally with robbery by threats,” the FBI field office in Houston, Texas, announced Tuesday.
The office had previously released surveillance images of the suspects, saying they were accused of robbing a Wells Fargo bank in Houston on March 14. Witnesses initially believed the suspects were between 14 and 18 years old, according to the FBI.
Two of the suspects were taken into custody following their parents recognized them in surveillance photos and contacted police, CNN affiliate KTRK reported, citing the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office declined to confirm the circumstances of their arrests to CNN, saying no further details would be released since the suspects are all minors. The FBI has not revealed how much money was taken in the robbery.
