Two children, ages 12 and seven respectively, who were reported missing after fleeing driving in their parents’ truck, were found healthy on the New Jersey-Delaware border on Monday.
It was preliminarily reported that the minors took their parents’ vehicle without permission.
NYPD revealed that the boys are cousins. One of the parents alerted authorities claiming that the minors stole the van from the family home in Queens and were on their way to Staten Island.
So far the circumstances of what happened are unknown, but around 2:30 pm on Monday the authorities located the minors when they tried to use a credit card in a rest center.
The investigation is ongoing.
