The Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office is looking for two teens who may have run away from home.

On Tuesday morning, the sheriff’s office received a call about two runaway teens, according to a sheriff’s office Facebook post.

Both teens, Carissa McMillan, 13, and Sawyer Lemon, 14, were last seen around midnight Monday night at their respective homes in Gloucester, the post said.
