14-year-old runaway ‘camped out’ overnight inside Bed, Bath & Beyond, NC cops say
Employees at a North Carolina Bed, Bath & Beyond got quite the surprise on Monday.
When they arrived to open a store in Greenville at about 8:30 a.m., they discovered someone hiding inside and called police, according to Kristen Hunter, spokesperson for the Greenville Police Department.
Officers responded to the store for a “breaking and entering in progress” and found the person.
It turned out he was a 14-year-old who had “camped out” in the Bed, Bath & Beyond overnight after running away from home, Hunter says.
The teen was OK and was taken back to his house, according to Hunter.
His name has not been released.
