The 23-year-old twin YouTuber, who attracted more than 4.8 million subscribers through'playful video', has been charged with a felony crime.

On the 6th of the local time, foreign media such as CNN reported that the YouTuber Alex-Alan Stokes had been brought to the court of law regarding a dangerous prank video posted last year.

In the video in question, released on October 20 last year, the Stokes brothers covered their faces with black masks, holding a large bag, waiting for an Uber driver. As the Uber vehicles approached, they urgently got into the car, pretending to be a'burglar' that had just robbed the bank. "The party who decided to put the vehicle in advance betrayed it" even struck a line. The embarrassed driver told the two to get off, but the brother pushed the driver to "fasten your speed," and continued the joke.


At that time, a citizen who witnessed this reported that a real bank robbery had taken place, and reported it to the police, and soon police officers armed with guns came to the scene. The police even thought that the Uber driver sitting in the driver's seat was an accomplice of the robbery, and even aimed a gun and pulled it out of the vehicle. All of this was captured in the brother's YouTube video.

At the time, the police, who released the innocent driver only after hearing the hell out of it, scolded Brother Stokes and issued a warning. But just hours later, police filed another report of robbery at the nearby University of California. It turned out that the killer was Brother Stokes, who was repeating the same joke.


On the 5th, California's Orange County prosecutors charged all of the brothers with the same charges as'illegal confinement through assault, threats, and fraud' and'false reporting'. "It wasn't a joke. It was a serious crime that could seriously injure or kill a person," he said.

The video in question has now disappeared from the Stokes brothers' YouTube channel, but the two have been active in the last week, posting two new videos. CNN reported that the Stokes brothers would face up to four years in prison.
