Episode Details

In 2019, twin YouTubers Alan and Alex Stokes aka The Stokes Twins staged a fake bank robbery in Irvine, California, as part of a prank video. Dressed in black with ski masks and carrying duffel bags of cash, they called an Uber while pretending to flee a robbery. A bystander, believing a real crime was occurring, alerted police, leading to officers detaining the unsuspecting Uber driver at gunpoint. Despite a warning from authorities, the twins repeated the stunt hours later at the University of California, Irvine, prompting further emergency calls.
