A youth in a dark blue T-shirt is then seen walking away out of frame, as the two other youths continue fishing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"video-container my-lg w-[620px] h-[349px]\" src=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/4802324446001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=6389930428112\" title=\"#NoTapis\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">P said the boys were initially not wearing masks, but later put them on and even flashed a &#8216;V&#8217; sign at the camera.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;See the red shirt guy.
