What BBN said about it

  1. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThe new detail is the gear, and it is a lot: masks, tactical vests, and what police say were things made to look like rifles, all carried up to front doors late at night.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo teenagers, one neighborhood in New Castle County, and a prank that police say ended in arrests instead of laughs.

  3. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterAnd the surveillance images show them creeping, Chip. Creeping! This was planned like a heist, allegedly, and the vests were the budget!

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVests?

  5. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterMatching ones. Somebody had a group order and, I assume, a spreadsheet.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA spreadsheet for a doorbell! Allegedly, folks, and the only mission was a front step.

  7. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThe homeowners have the video, the police have the teens, and the teens have a very long evening ahead.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBrock, is it raining on anybody's prank tonight?
