2 Teen Inmates Escape SMC Correctional Camp

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — San Mateo County sheriff's officials say they've found two teens who escaped from a juvenile correctional facility over the weekend. The teens apparently walked away from Camp Glenwood sometime Sunday.

Officials learned that the two teenagers were missing from the La Honda facility at 9:45 p.m., but it wasn't immediately clear when they took off.

Sheriff's deputies headed out to the camp's location and searched the area through the night. Around 9:30 a.m. Monday, the SMC sheriff's department announced the duo was found.

"They have been located by Sheriff's Deputies and are back in custody," the agency said.

Additional details about how and where the two inmates were found were not immediately available.

Camp Glenwood is a facility for "high-risk young men who are facing extended detention at the Youth Services Center." The county describes the location as a place that "provides a structured residential setting with services addressing the boys’ serious issues around education, behavior, family, substance abuse, and gangs."
