Authorities have revealed they have tracked down a trio of suspects wanted in connection with a harrowing Halloween prank that terrorized a Virginia family earlier this month.

Following more than 100 hours of investigation, Alexandria Police Department Chief Tarrick McGuire said the three people caught on camera wearing Halloween masks and attempting to break into a family’s home were actually cousins of the residents, according to FOX 5.

McGuire revealed that investigators received numerous tips which led to a woman who confessed that she, her two sons and a nephew staged the incident, FOX 5 reported.

However, since the family is choosing to not bring charges, the suspects will not face prosecution and authorities will not reveal their identities.

McGuire also revealed the incident could have had deadly consequences, as the homeowner’s brother was initially called to the home with a gun.

I think they should’ve brought the charges against them.
