First let me commend you for not letting one bad behavior trump another. Too many parents would become indignant after learning of the elder couple's son's "visit" and forget that the situation was caused by a prank in the first place - albeit a harmless prank.
I agree that you should talk to the couple, having the boys apologize. As Patty said, it would be bad if the boys were later unjustly accused of something else. The couple will let their son know that they had apologized and hopefully there'll be no more interaction with him. I would also let the couple know exactly
how their son "handled" the situation himself, which actually caused a delay in the apology.
