KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — Officials say two of four teens who escaped from a Kearney treatment facility have been captured.
Four teens escaped Sunday night from Kearney’s Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center. Police captured one teen near the facility, and the Gage County Sheriff’s Office received information around 11:40 p.m. Monday that another escapee was headed toward Beatrice.
The teen was found during a traffic stop on the north side of Beatrice and was taken to the Youth Attention Center in Lincoln.
Authorities are still searching for two of the teens.
Early Monday, Grand Island police tried to stop a vehicle that fled. Officers later found the apparently stolen vehicle abandoned, and inside were two T-shirts with the missing teens’ names on them.
