Milford Missing Teens Found Safe In Swampscott

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — Three teen girls who went missing from a Milford shelter where they were living with their mother were found in Swampscott on Monday.

Swampscott police said the cell phone of one the girls was pinged to multiple locations in town — including Humphrey Street in the area of King's Beach and the Clark Playground near Archer Street.

Police said the girls apparently ran away from the Milford shelter and earlier Monday asked for the public's help in finding them if they were in town.

"A short while ago, Swampscott Police located the three juveniles and are safe," police said Monday night. "We thank our community members who expressed concern and shared our initial bulletin."
