Warminster Teen Missing After Leaving Shelter Again: Police

WARMINSTER, PA — A Warminster teen has gone missing after leaving a local shelter for the second time in less than a month.

Rayshawn Thomas, 14, was last seen at Valley Youth House, located at 800 York Road, Building 22, early Wednesday morning.

An employee of the shelter told police that Thomas said he was upset that a funeral for a family member was being held in New Jersey on Wednesday. Thomas had said that he was going to make it to the funeral one way or another.

He was last seen in his bed at 1 a.m. During hourly checks, an employee noticed that he was not in his bed at around 2 a.m.

Thomas was last seen wearing a black tee-shirt, a black hooded sweatshirt, black cotton pants, and white Nike shoes with blue soles. He is described as a black male, standing 5'8" in height, with a thin build of around 147 pounds, black hair, black/brown eyes, and has a scar on his back.

This is not the first time Thomas has left the shelter without telling anyone. Back in April, Thomas, along with another teenager, left the shelter and were both reported missing.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the police at 215-672-1000.
