MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities are looking for four teenage boys who escaped from a treatment center in East Tennessee, a sheriff said.
The boys were reported missing on Monday from the Helen Ross McNabb Gateway Center in Louisville, Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong said.
He said they are suspected of stealing a city of Maryville utility truck and attempting to break into a convenience store, news outlets reported.
Berrong urged people in the area to be on the lookout for the juveniles, who range in age from 15 to 17, and report any suspicious behavior to authorities.
