Two Shelby County teenagers who were reported missing earlier this week have been found.

 

At about 8:45 a.m. Feb. 12, Shelby County sheriff’s deputies and Hoover police officers were notified of a possible sighting of 14-year-olds Dalton Stern and Jacob Sweeney in the area off U.S. 280 and Hugh Daniel Road.

“Sheriff’s deputies and Hoover officers arrived in the area and located them,” according to a news release issued by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. “Both teens are reported to have been safely returned to their parents.”
