Two masked people frightening the public around Auckland have identified themselves to police.
Police had issued an appeal for the characters to come forward after reports of them terrifying members of the public.
The pair had been filmed carrying weapons around Parnell and the Auckland Domain.
Police say this afternoon they've come forward.
NZME reports the couple are now learning why it's not a good idea to hang out in parks with confronting costumes and dangerous looking accessories.
