48 Hour Challenge concerns local law enforcement with recent increase in runaway reports

A social media challenge that prompts teens to become runaways is a concern for the Shelbyville Police Department.

 

Lt. Mike Turner says good news overnight included two of their reported runaways being located in Anderson. 

 

Shelbyville PD reports that Tony Bridges remains missing. Bridges, 17, went missing on April 9.  If anyone knows where Tony is or has seen Tony you're asked to contact the Shelbyville Police Department 317-392-2511 or 911 if you believe it is an emergency.

 

Turner says there's been no immediate connection between the 48 Hour Challenge and the recent  uptick in local runaway reports.  But it's concerning.

 

 

He says a runaway child places immense stress on family.

 

 

And Turner notes that running away is a punishable offense.
