The Wanted accosted by police on MTV's 'Punk'd'
The prank show - originally hosted by Ashton Kutcher - will see several celebrities hosting each episode when it premieres on March 29.
In the upcoming skit, the British boyband are warned by Los Angeles police officers for trespassing on private property, reports the Daily Mail.
Jay McGuiness, who is believed to have been in on the prank, gets handcuffed and taken away by officers, much to the shock of his bandmates. Tom Parker is later told to lie on the ground with his hands on the floor.
The Wanted recently claimed their first US top five hit with 'Glad You Came', which has been covered by the cast of Glee.
Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are among the celebrities to feature in the new Punk'd, while Kutcher remains as executive producer.
