Authorities say three boys reported missing after leaving New Jersey have all been found in Stamford, Connecticut.
Montville Township Police Department Chief Andrew Caggiano told News Agency that Brayden Morrissey, 14, Dominic Diliberto, 14, and William Connolly, 17, had first departed an undisclosed location in Montville Township, New Jersey, on Thursday night.
Police initially launched a broad search that included K-9 teams and drones, but the effort became a missing persons investigation after investigators determined the teens had left the immediate area.

MTA officers encountered the group in Stamford and placed Connolly in protective custody, while the two younger teens ran from the scene.
