A local teen was found in Missouri after being picked up by a predator he found online.
Our news partners at WPXI report that the investigation began after Adams Township Police received a call for a missing 15-year-old boy over the weekend.
The teen met some people online from Arkansas and then two men picked the boy up near his house. He left a note for his parents that he was running away from home.
The teen made it to Missouri when he had second thoughts and called 9-1-1. He was found in a hotel unharmed.
The teen also took $150,000 in silver from his parents—that money was not returned by the suspects. Law enforcement is still looking for the two suspects.
The boy is on his way home to his parents.
