BARTLESVILLE, OK -- There has been a break in a case involving a fake bomb found in the parking lot of a Bartlesville school in June.

Bartlesville Police Chief Tom Holland says the device was found to be a hoax.

Holland says detectives have identified the vehicle on school district surveillance video and that two 17-year-olds and an 18-year-old were behind the hoax.

Holland says the three teens apparently meant this as a practical joke, but he says it wasn't.

None of the teens have been arrested.

Holland says police have now turned the results of their investigation over to the Washington County District Attorney's Office for possible prosecution.
