The Yorkville Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance locating two teenagers who are presumed to have run away from Yorkville on Dec. 13.

“Both teens were seen leaving from a group home in Yorkville with their belongings and have posted to social media they are in Chicago as of Dec. 14,” the police said in a release.
