Police are searching for two boys who vanished from a New Jersey train station on Friday and were last spotted in Connecticut.

Montville Township Police Department Chief Andrew Caggiano told Fox News Digital that Brayden Morrissey, 14, Dominic Diliberto, 14, and William Connolly, 17, disappeared from the Denville Train Station at about 5:30 p.m. local time Friday.

Caggiano said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) later spotted the three teens at a train station in Stamford, Connecticut.

MTA officers took Connolly into protective custody and the two 14-year-olds fled, Caggiano told Fox News Digital on Saturday.
