The three are accused of robbing a Wells Fargo bank on March 14 along the North Freeway.

“They approached a teller and demanded money,” Connor Hagan, a spokesperson with FBI Houston told KPRC 2.

“Anecdotally, it’s the youngest robbery crew I’ve seen based on all the pictures we’ve put out,” Hagan said.

When it happened, the FBI sent out a post on X that showed surveillance video pictures of the three.

“Recognize these “little rascals”? Believe it or not they just robbed the Wells Fargo at 10261 North Freeway,” the post said.

Because they’re all juveniles, the FBI isn’t showing those pictures any more and neither are we.

They’re also not giving out any more details about the boys, where they were caught or how they were found.

We do know they are charged with robbery by threat.
