Two teenage girls from Clayton who were reported missing over the weekend have been safely located in Florida. Authorities have arrested two men in connection with their disappearance.
According to Clayton Police, the girls, ages 15 and 14, were last seen around 1 a.m. Saturday on Satinwood Drive. Their parents reported them missing later that morning. A note left behind suggested they had gone to meet “some guys they met,” and they were not carrying cell phones.
The investigation quickly pointed to two men from Daytona Beach, Florida. Police arrested 18-year-old Ericson Leonel Ullo-Flores and 22-year-old Edwin Alberto Cardenas on kidnapping charges Sunday.
Both suspects are currently in custody in Florida, awaiting extradition to North Carolina.
The two girls have been found safe and will be reunited with their families.
