All nine teenagers who escaped a detention center in Pennsylvania were recaptured on Monday morning following an overnight search.
On Sunday night, the juveniles reportedly “overpowered staff” before crawling under a fence and escaping from Abraxas Academy in Morgantown, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
The teenagers’ escape prompted nearby schools and offices to close on Monday out of precaution.
“It probably was planned, but poorly planned,” Pennsylvania State Police Trooper David Beohm said about their escape.
The juveniles were recaptured less than 12 hours later.
According to Beohm, the first four were taken into custody at around 6 a.m. on Monday after knocking on a local resident’s door.
“We had four of them go to a house on Oak Grove Road, basically banged on the door. They were done. They were tired. They were cold,” Beohm said.
The other five still on the run were picked up by police after a truck and trailer were reported stolen.
Following a brief car case, authorities found four of the juveniles in the vehicle. The last one took off on foot but was later caught by law enforcement a short time later.
All nine teenagers were apprehended within a four-mile radius of the detention center and none resisted arrest, according to police.
A news release from the Berks County District Attorney’s office outlined charges that will be filed against them, including escape, riot, aggravated and simple assault, and theft by unlawful taking.
In the overnight operation, approximately 60 law enforcement personnel, K-9 units, and police drones worked consecutively to apprehend the young men.

What charges will be filed against the teenagers who escaped from the detention center in Pennsylvania?
OAN’s Stephanie Stahl reported that all nine teenagers who escaped a detention center in Pennsylvania were recaptured on Monday morning following an overnight search. The incident occurred on Sunday night when the juveniles reportedly overpowered staff and crawled under a fence to escape from Abraxas Academy in Morgantown, according to Pennsylvania State Police. As a precaution, nearby schools and offices closed on Monday.
Pennsylvania State Police Trooper David Beohm stated that while the escape seemed to have been planned, it was poorly executed. However, less than 12 hours later, all nine juveniles were recaptured. The first four were apprehended at around 6 a.m. on Monday after knocking on a local resident’s door. Beohm described them as tired and cold. The remaining five escapees were later picked up by police after a stolen truck and trailer were reported.
Authorities found four of the juveniles in the stolen vehicle following a brief car chase. The last escapee fled on foot but was eventually caught by law enforcement. It is worth noting that none of the teenagers resisted arrest during their apprehension, and they were all captured within a four-mile radius of the detention center.
The Berks County District Attorney’s office released a statement outlining the charges that will be filed against the teenagers, including escape, riot, aggravated and simple assault, and theft by unlawful taking.
Approximately 60 law enforcement personnel, along with K-9 units and police drones, worked together in the overnight operation to locate and apprehend the young men.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of secure detention centers and the need for effective protocols to prevent such escapes. The recapture of all nine individuals is a testament to the dedication and cooperation of law enforcement personnel involved in the operation.
Overall, this incident highlights the resilience and commitment of our law enforcement agencies in ensuring the safety and well-being of our communities.
