Police search for 7 missing from facility

FRANKLIN, Pa. — Police are still searching for three teens and four young men from Philadelphia who fled from a residential facility in Western Pennsylvania for troubled youth.

The the seven disappeared from VisionQuest’s Lee Prep campus near Franklin last week.

Police say four are suspected of stealing a car after they left the facility on April 20.

Three others had walked away from the facility days earlier.

A spokeswoman for VisionQuest says the facility is not locked and people sometimes run away, but seven running off in a week is unusual.

It was not immediately clear why the teens and young men had been placed at the facility.
