GCSO searching for three teens who fled American Marine Institute Facility
GEORGETOWN, S.C. (WCBD) – The Gorgetown County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) is searching Wednesday evening for three teens who ran away from the American Marine Institute Facility just south of Georgetown.
According to GCSO, the teens ran away shortly before 6:00 p.m.
The teens are described as 14-year-old black males wearing khaki pants, white t-shirts, and black slides. Two of the teens are from Greenville and one is from Laurens.
GCSO set up a perimeter and searched the area with K9s. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) assisted with the search, sending their helicopter equipped with Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensors, but the teens were not located.
GCSO is still vigilantly patrolling the area, but residents are urged to be aware and use caution. GSCO has already called everyone living within a 10-mile radius of 1590 CCC Road and provided a description of the situation as well as the runaways.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
